Great Wolf Lodge Snowland

I'm so excited we were asked back to Great Wolf Lodge see my boys aren't the loudest out there. Take that cranky old lady in the grocery store! LOL no really my boys actually were rather on the quiet side, it's actually nice to go somewhere and not be stared at for loud and crazy kids! So what do you do? You take them to a indoor waterpark with hundreds of other kids! Yup you fit right in and guess what? They are expected that there will be running and screaming up and down the hallways. Guess we'll see if we get invited back again .. LOL.

The fun thing about this trip was Snowland. Yup you guessed it, it actually snows in the lobby. Well it's technically a soap mix but it looks like real snow falling down twice a day! The boys loved it. We only stayed one night but we packed in as much of the festivities as we could. I do recommend staying at least 2 nights so you can do all the festivities along with the day to day events they have.

Snowland Offers:

Santa's Arrival & Tree Lightingvisit with Santa, carol sing-alongskids earn their "Snowland Mittens" at North Pole UniversitySanta's Workshop in the Cub Club: kids make holiday cards, presents to give away, wish list

The year ends with Snowball on December 31, a New Year's bash with karaoke, New Year?s Eve feast, dancing, waterslide races with prizes.

Now I know cost is a huge thing with everyone this time of year, but do your searching and you can find some great deals and make this a Christmas no one will forget! Plus they have refrigerator in every room along with microwaves and you know what drives me a coffee pot. The Great Wolf Lodge next to us was close to a Walmart where we picked up some goodies when we didn't go out for the meals.

In true fashion of the way I roll I took pictures like crazy and instead of going on and on with my words (which I know you hang on to with breathless anticipation). So here it goes, well with some words also!!!

So we start our journey in the car!

I decided that I would let the boys open an early Christmas Present

I got an amazing deal at Target for a Dual Screen DVD

Black Friday with my coupons got me this for $77

Here we are on our way to the Great Wolf Lodge

The fun festivities that greet you!

I just love all the tree's they were each decorated different

The boys loved the one you waved your wand in front of to make it talk.

Things you'll see and may not see

To your left you will notice the kiddy pool empty

Well let's just say we got to see first hand what they do to clean up!

Yes there is a guy testing the water!

I know you all wondered!!

They have a garbage and recycling bins in your room

Beds that are comfy!

And of course a big bucket that dumps water!

Family Photo op times everywhere!

Hint* - Great idea for Christmas Cards!

The buffet is a good deal if you can eat enough.

I'm not a big eater, but Rick loved it!

Plus again family friendly so when you're kids scream

you look around and the others are too!

It's snowing INSIDE!!!

During Story time the clock tower animals talk and move!

Rodolph came to visit while they read a book to us.

Then it snowed! So cute kids in PJ's and snow falling.

Then it snowed outside!!

Then guess what it snowed again INSIDE!

We did not receive a free trip, we were given a discount on our rate. These are my opinions from my families experience at the park.
