Great Wolf Lodge - Day Two!

 Buffet-breakfast!

 Judah enjoyed the free refills ;)

 Back to the pool!

 Nadineke is such a little fish - she sure is happy in the water.

 Reuben and Judah were paired for a bit and Judah wandered off without telling Reuben.  Reuben was pretty freaked out - Steve is here comforting Reuben after all were reunited.

 Silas getting tiiiiiired.

 In the wave pool again!

 Steve and some kids going on a slide and I caught them coming out!

 I like this picture.  Steve, Judah and Eli coming out of the "fast" Niagara rapids.

 Lunch time - what a treat.

 Eli also is very happy in the water - he played and played and played and played all on his own and with kids he just met and with his siblings.  He loved the wave pool the best.

 Silas had trouble warming up and was the happiest in the (somewhat) hot tub.  He did not want to leave, but we all did eventually and he did this:

 nap-time!

 We left GWL around 5:30 and went to check out the icy Falls.  It was pretty cold so we didn't stay too long.  It was all pretty impressive to see.  The Falls weren't frozen through but the ice was amazing.

 "Please smile for just one picture Tired-Kids!!!!"  Well, 4/5 isn't too bad?!

 Eli really wanted to go to the Ferris Wheel - maybe one day!

 Icy American Falls.

On the way home.  We were all pretty tuckered and happy to be home!

This was such a fun adventure for our whole family.  It felt good that we paid for it together and so didn't stress us out when the kids didn't eat enough at the buffets or had a nap instead of playing :)  It felt good to be intentionally together for so long and enjoy each others company and like being together.  It was just fun to have an adventure and be happy about it.  We are certainly a blessed family and it is a joy.  We are so thankful.
