Great Wolf Lodge 2014

This past weekend we went with friends to Great Wolf Lodge. 
Along the way we stopped for the restroom. Signs like these are scarier than stumbling up on a rattlesnake. Don't warn me. Let it surprise me...
Finn was so excited to get there Friday night.  
Since it was already late, we stayed in the room Friday night and ate and visited.  We brought our own food and there was a LOT of it.  So we ate until we were stuffed.  


The next morning we hit the water as early as we could.  


Finn really enjoys doing the wave pool with his dad.  We also got to play water basketball and Finn did some slides.  He was tall enough to do the bigger slides, but he only did one big slide. He did the little ones many times.  Mindy and I were trying to get a good picture. Many bad pictures =a great gif...
Why is it so hard to get a good picture?
For some reason every time we tried to get a picture of anything, it took 100 takes.   

Finn took the hulk costume to wear around the hotel room.   Here the kids are right before they went on a "quest". If you have been there, you know what I am talking about. If you haven't, I would explain, but I don't know what I am talking about.
We thought we would do a group photo. Tosh had the idea to do it in the mirror...
None of us thought to stand CLOSE to the mirror. Once we moved up...
Finn was so parched from the park he would not stop drinking. Not even long enough to take a picture...
I have about 15 takes on my phone. It was hard not to laugh while doing these...

We wanted a picture of the kids and this was their response...


"Go stand by the treasure chest," I say and both kids walk the other direction...
"No...this way," We say.  Finn is still drinking...


We managed to get a lot of arcade time in...
We were addicted to "Balltastic".
We only needed one meal out (still in the hotel).  That diner was LOUD.  Lots of kids. 
These kids were zonked. Finn almost fell asleep in his plate...
He was so tired, but he didn't want to miss the story...


Sunday we got to go back to the arcade. Finn had saved up tickets, so he was able to get a better prize in the end.  He got furry dice...
Finn was mesmerized by the lego version of GWL...
This is one big fireplace...
I just love the lobby...
As we were leaving, we decided to get a family picture.  Our friends left a little before us, so we were trying to take a selfie.  A guy asked if he could help.  He took one, asked if I wanted to check it, I told him it would be fine..
Of course my eyes were closed, of course.  But as we were walking off he saw us look and start laughing.  He took another for us...
and of course Finn wasn't looking.  We could not get our photo ops together!
Finn was so sleepy once we got in the car...
He slept half of the way.  Once awake he enjoyed his furry dice and the ball he got with his tickets.
I had pulled my sunglasses down to look at something. Finn thought it was hysterical so we made sunglasses mustaches...
We decided to look at Quanah's main street.  What a sad little depressing town that was.  
The sky as we were in the middle of nowhere was a mix of pink and blue.   
We had a good time with our friends.  
Thanks for the good time Cagle family!!
