Great Wolf Lodge!

We just back from a fantastic weekend at Great Wolf Lodge in Cincinnati! This may end up sounding like a commercial for the place, but seriously we had such a great time it's hard not to talk it up! We started the weekend on Friday and drove straight to the Cincinnati Aquarium. The boys are REALLY into sea creatures and sharks right now, so they were beyond excited for this part. The Aquarium was awesome and was very kid friendly. Here are a few pics from the Aquarium:











Eli in front of a frog tank...not a great picture of the frogs, but I think Eli looks so cute here!


Talking to the diver in the tank. Caden decided after this trip that he might want to rethink his career choice of wanting to be a school bus driver, and is considering being a diver. We will be happy either way. :)

Feeding the Lorikeet birds...

Skinny Eli playing in the wave pool...




The first night in the hotel Eli slept in the 2nd queen bed and Caden slept on the pull out sofa. All was well until 6am when we awoke to a big thud when Eli rolled off the bed. So the 2nd night, we tried to convince him to sleep in the pack n play, but he was adament that he was too big for it. So Jerome had the brilliant idea of making him his own "dinosaur cave" for him by turning the pack n play on it's side, and he was happy as can be!

This is the treehouse/clocktower thing in the lobby of the hotel. It comes to life a few times a day and goes thru a story/song. Then at the 8pm show all the kids come down in the PJs for story time after the show. It's so cute!
