Great Wolf Lodge

In July we decided to take a trip down to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, TX before going to visit family in AR for Mike's Dad's birthday party. We'd been wanting to check out this hotel/water park for awhile & this seemed like the perfect opportunity. We stayed for 3 nights & had lots of fun! Everything was great (from the themed room, to the water park, & the starbucks in the lobby) with the exception of the beds... they were not comfy at all!

We got the Kids Kamp suite which had a little alcove w/ a bunk bed designed to look like a tent. Jackson had fun playing on the bottom bunk & looking through the window. He also enjoyed the bears painted on the wall. Isabella had a blast on the top bunk & did so well sleeping there all three nights! (She wanted Jackson to sleep on the bottom but that was not going to happen!)

The water park is huge, mostly indoors, & lots of fun! Isabella took some bribing & convincing but she did get on all the slides she was able to ride. We were so excited that she measured in at 42", the minimum height to ride w/ an adult on nearly all the slides (all but 2). You cannot lap ride, but they have double tubes for you to go on together. It was so much fun to go down the slides with her and to see her excitement! Jackson had fun playing in the small kids area where he could walk around in the water & touch all the fountains.

In the lobby at night they have the clock tower & electronic animals/girl that talk & sing songs. Isabella really enjoyed watching this & wanted to do it every night (even though it's the same thing repeated). The hotel staff then read a bed time story & you can see Wiley, their character which I believe is a wolf. ;-) We had lots of fun in the hotel and look forward to returning one day. It was really convenient to have our room so close to the water park so that we could return easily for eating or naps. We also brought in our breakfast & lunches, only eating out for dinner which helped make this trip a bit more affordable.
