The kids were very excited to go back to Great Wolf Lodge, this time with Zoe's homeschool co-op. (The 2 youngest got to skip school to participate, which they didn't mind one bit.)
Since IKEA is on the way and only about 10 minutes from GWL, we all love to make that a part of the trip.
The favorite, though, was the "cafe" set up!
All and all they did a great job, were patient when they needed to be, and even enjoyed taking some pictures at times.
It helped to have a yummy lunch to look forward to for us all.

We were thankful that our room was ready for us when we got there, so we could change there quickly and head to the water park.
One of Ezra's memories from when he was little was spraying on this jet ski, and he was happy to recreate it!
It was such a different trip, though, from previous years, as this time the girls were old enough to go off together with friends. (I failed to get a good picture of Zoe with her buddies.)
It took me awhile to adjust to this new dynamic.
But I did get to spend some time with my girl at the end of the night, after her friends had gone out of the park for the night.
And the rest of the family...
Ezra had a blast with his "booby trap" area.
After dinner and showers, I was happy to go with the littles to story hour, where Shiloh was able to participate in the story time. It was loud and chaotic, and she joined in!
Warming by the fire.
Up next a dance party and the tweens got into the line dancing.
She is growing so fast.
When we got back to the room, we found that the rest of the crew was pretty wiped out.
Whether they liked it or not, it is a must to recreate this picture.
Howe!!!
Even though we slept in a bit, it was a challenge for the girls to get up.
My little fishy loves the pool
Thankful for this time with them...
Well deserved for great behavior and encouragement for the ride home.
