Great Wolf Lodge

Tara and I decided to take the kids to Great Wolf Lodge near Kansas City this weekend. We figured that it was between Hannah's and Carson's birthdays so it would be a special treat. It's also very close to Halloween so Great Wolf Lodge decorates a few rooms and lets the kids trick-or-treat there. Carson decided to be Spiderman and Hannah was a fairy. The first room was a King Kong themed room where a big gorilla was giving out candy....Hannah wasn't sure if she liked this 'trick-or-treat' business. The next room was a pirate that jumped out at you and then proceeded to get into a sword fight with another pirate trying to steal the kids' candy....Hannah knew then and there that she didn't like this 'trick-or-treat' stuff and had me hold her the rest of the way. She didn't want to skip any rooms however for that would mean skipping out on getting that candy. Priorities, priorities......

This was the first trip where Carson went down the 'big slides' by himself on his own inner tube and Hannah got to go down the big slide with Tara and I in an inflatable boat. Both had a blast and kept busy until the very end.

For dinner Monday night, we hit the local mall where a restaurant named 'T-Rex' is located. As you can probably imagine, this is a dinosaur themed eatery where every room features a different dinosaur and once every 30 minutes, the lights dim and a simulated meteor shower takes place. Carson thought it was neat; Hannah was somewhat annoyed because it interfered with her coloring on her menu. After dinner, they played in another part of the restaurant where they can act the part of an archaeologist and discover dinosaur bones or explore caves. Hannah liked digging for bones and Carson liked discovering the bats in the cave.




Here is a video of Carson showing his stuff on the logs:

It was a good couple of days.
