Great Wolf Lodge

Yesterday we headed over to Mason, Ohio to The Great Wolf Lodge. We had a blast! If you haven't been, I highly recommend going. It's a great family place. We had so much fun and we are exhausted!

Braden seeing the water park for the first time!

After a few times of hesitation, Braden was a pro at going down the slides by himself.

I loved watching Braden's face when he hit the water.

Very attractive face buddy! :)

This was the very first time Chris and Braden went down the tube slide together on the double tube. As you can see from the picture, they are nowhere in sight! That's because the tube flipped when they hit the water and they both went under. Being the concerned mom that I am, I went ahead and shot the picture. :)

Coming up out of the water....we're ok Mom!

The 2nd time down was much better. When they hit the water, Chris lifted him in the air to keep him up. Braden LOVED this ride. I went down with him too and he would giggle and squeal all the way down. Then as soon as you hit the water, he would say, "again!"

After drying off from our first day at the water park, we headed over to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner. Braden was exhausted!! He was crashing at the table.

Back at the hotel....a little posing for mom.

At 8:15 they had story hour by the big tree. All of the kiddos were in their PJ's. It was pretty cute!

Wiley came out for the story. Braden couldn't wait to give him a hug. By the way, this is his typical hug-head into you, no arms. He's such an affectionate child!

Just chilling before bed and doing a little teeth brushing.

Day 2 (this morning) we hit the arcade to kill some time before the water park opened. The good thing with Braden is you really don't have to buy too many tokens, if any at all. He's perfectly fine running around pushing all of the buttons. I'm going to enjoy these cheap days while I can!

A little skee ball action. As you can see based on the height of that ball, most of them banged the fence covering and never got under. We couldn't quite get the "roll" down. It was more of a throw!

"Now this I am good at!"

They had the cutest little place called "Cub Club" where you could play and make crafts. Braden and Chris were seeing who could build the tallest tower.

* After Cub Club, we hit the water park again. I didn't take many pictures this time because I wanted in on the fun too! We left around 1:00 and Braden crashed the whole way home....I did a little snoozing myself. :)
