Our Trip to the Great Wolf Lodge

Ok, here is another way back post, but back in February we went as a family to spend a few days at the Great Wolf Lodge, and I have to say, it was one of the best vacations I have ever had! Kaiya still talks about it at least a few times a week (although that is probably partly because we drive by it at least that often).

Thanks to our lovely friend Jill, who runs the spa at the GWL, we got a totally awesome room, and Kaiya had her pick of lovely camp themed bunk beds. She didn't really want to leave the room, but I was sure glad we convinced her to! She loved the water park!

Now Jamie's favorite part of the trip was the Magiquest. You get a wand, and it is like a giant electronic scavenger hunt that has you running all over the hotel. Kaiya and Jamie worked on it every time we were not in the pool. You solve the clues to find the right place and when you wave your wand at whatever the clues led you to it lights up and responds to you, and when you collect them all you complete the quest and can move on to the next one! Jamie really got into it and even worked at it after Kaiya went to bed.

Kaiya liked the fairy house best, which lit up and giggled when you waved your wand at it.

The part Kaiya talked about the most was "the show". It was an animatronic show with a talking moose, raccoon, squirrels etc. It plays a couple of times a day, including right before the bedtime story, which she also loved.

Then, after the bedtime story the kids get to give a hug to Wiley, the GWL mascot. I think it is funny, Kaiya has always loved the giant characters (I can't wait her take her to Disneyland).

I can't wait to go back, and neither can Kaiya!
