THE GREAT WOLF LODGE

While we were in Washington, Joni and Whitney took us on a trip to The Great Wolf Lodge! It was so fun. We spent the night there and enjoyed the water park and the kids really got into the MagiQuest. CLICK HERE

All of the floors at the lodge were a different theme!
FIRST FLOOR: Forgotten hall
SECOND FLOOR: Pixie's Hall
THIRD FLOOR: Whispering Woods
FOURTH FLOOR: Piney Path (where we stayed)
FIFTH FLOOR: Tangled Woods
STAIRWAY: Enchanted Woods

One Example of the MagiQuest is:

HEALING RUNE QUEST

Shadow moss and knothole fungus,
root the forest fern,
pure tree slim,
find all in time then quickly, Magi, return
tot he princess fair and she'll prepare
a potion for the ill,
And very soon, the healing Rune,
bestow on you she will.


A PICTURE OF A LEAF
If forest fern you wish to earn
then PIXIE'S HALL may hide it
Traverse thru all of that long hall
and Bravely there you'll find it.

A PICTURE OF SHADOW MOSS
The shadow moss you'll come across
Closer to PIXIE'S PERCH
Look at the stairs, then turn around
That's where you'll end this search.

A PICTURE OF TREE SLIME
It's now the time to find tree slime
Deep in ENCHANTED WOODS.
So climb up the stair, if you dare
I really think you should

A PICTURE OF FUNGUS
Fungus, fungus Everywhere
Along this ENCHANTED path
NEAR THE ELEVATORS it grows.
But if it gets upon your clothes
You'll have to take a bath

After you found all of these things and waved your wand at them (they would light up and say things to you) you would go back to the tree and get your rune and start a new quest. Even Dorian and I were having a blast with it. It's kind of addicting to wave your wand at all the pictures, treasure chests and random things all through out the lodge. WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK AGAIN SOMEDAY!

To see the Crazy water slide we went on:

Joni about had a heart attack when she went down this slide. She had NO IDEA what she was in for!
It was a blast, and at least once a week Carson asks if he can go back when he's 10.

I've heard of this place from some of our friends in Marysville. They've gone a couple of times, and they say the same thing: absolutely fun. We'll have to go there some day :)
