The Great Wolf Lodge

On Thursday after school, we picked up the kids and Don announced, "Kids, there is a major crime happening right now! Something really bad." The kids were a little concerned and begged to know what was going on. Don continued, "There is a kidnapping going on at this very moment!" More concern from the younger kids. Older kids started to get excited. "Mom and I are kidnapping you, we're taking you out of school tomorrow and we're all going to spend a couple days at The Great Wolf Lodge!" (For those who don't know, it's an indoor water park) The kids squealed with delight. We were all packed and ready to go so we were on our way. We had promised the kids that we would do something fun when we finished The Book of Mormon and we only had a few chapters left. So, since we had a few hours to drive, we all took turns reading aloud until we finished! This was our 2nd time to read it as a family and it only took us 4 years this time! We committed to start again and try to be more diligent about not missing any days and read a little more so we could maybe finish in 2 or 3 years this time. What tremendous blessings have come into our home from simply reading The Book of Mormon as a family on a consistent basis. How grateful I am for the scriptures.



The Wave Pool....

The Kiddie slides....

The main play area with a huge bucket that would fill with water and dump every 5 minutes or so.

This is what it looked like after that bucket spilled over...

The bigger slides were amazing. The first night we went down them in the pitch black and it was definitely a thrill ride! We had a great time. It was a perfect getaway from the cold, long winter.
