Nana and Grandpa treated us to a couple night stay at Great Wolf Lodge with the Caldwells! We were supposed to go last Spring Break but COVID shut everything down. Thankfully we were able to reschedule and felt comfortable going with them being at 60% capacity, masks being required outside of the pool, and 5 out of our 6 adults being vaccinated. We were able to stay 6' behind other groups in lines and used a vaccinated adult as a buffer if people behind us in line weren't staying spaced. We'd never been before and had a great time! The kids were happiest in the wave pool but we did convince them to ride a few rides. Since there were so many adults to watch the kids, it was nice for the adults to enjoy the rides too!
We enjoyed riding the slides. Hunter LOVES the adult rides too! He even went on the tornado ride multiple times! Here's a
Go Pro video when Chris and I went with Kim and Chad.
Some down time in the room with pizza!

We had some down time to play games too!
We went out to eat once and had an hour wait to get a table. Thankfully the kids held it together during the wait thanks to fun games coordinated by Chris!
The Caldwells had been to GWL a few times and recommended the MagiQuest. You purchase a wand and find different chests/items throughout the hotel to earn steps to the final quest. The kids enjoyed it and we all got our steps in!
Owen was surprisingly difficult to convince to try rides. He was just perfectly happy in the wave pool. We practically forced him to go on our last day there since we'd gone down right when they opened to avoid the lines. Surprisingly to him, he enjoyed the rides and actually went down a few more times. He even went down one ride with Willow a few times. H
ere they are coming out. Outside of a few days at GWL, we enjoyed spending time relaxing at home, enjoyed the nice weather, and met for a playdate at the park with a friend.
