This year, when D decided to do a Chuck E. Cheese party, we were already debating on trying to get away for a night. In the end, we decided to go to Great Wolf Lodge in Concord/Charlotte, North Carolina. The idea of getting some time in at a water park in-between the seemingly endless snowstorms we have experienced this winter was very appealing. With R working evenings, these little times with him and the boys are so precious.
E and D were tall enough to hit every slide (making their father ecstatic). He has been waiting years to have little buddies to accompany him on these things. D managed to hit every slide, including the Howlin' Tornado-- pretty good for a little boy on the brink of six. E, was like his momma, and couldn't quite bring himself to take on the Howlin' Tornado. However, we did hit every other slide. C was not tall enough to ride everything, but had a blast on the slides at Fort Mackenzie. He would of rode everything if he had been tall enough. There was not a single part of the water park that we did not enjoy. We made the most of Monday. We were at the water park at the 9 a.m. opening and left a bit after five to grab dinner and get on the road home.
We stayed in a Kid Kabin that was extremely spacious. We chose this option because it had bunk beds, and an additional day bed, allowing all three boys to have their own beds. There was so much other stuff that we did not get a chance to do-- we could certainly of stayed another night. E is already deciding whether he wants to venture to Great Wolf or check out Wilderness at the Smokies for his birthday in May.
Why is D crying in this last shot?
ReplyDeleteFrom the wave pool through getting dressed, to dinner, he cried. He had came to me crying out of exhaustion in the wave pool telling me he was tired and ready to go home. That picture was taken as we were leaving because I had not gotten a picture of all three of them anywhere other than on the bed in the room.
