We tagged up with the Wells to go on a short family trip to check out Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA. Between Kaitlyn's upcoming birthday and excellent report cards by both kids, we figured it was a good time for a treat. This was our first trip to Great Wolf Lodge and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The main attraction is the indoor water park, which is especially popular in winter when it's freezing outside, with plenty of additional amenities to entertain the parents and kids.
Jonathan is still in his Marshmello phase so he brought his bucket and was chillin' while jamming to music on his headphones. He's happy doing his own thing and doesn't really mind what others think. Good for him!
The eagle has landed! The entrance was nice and we were excited to get inside and see what else was waiting for us.
J wanted to make sure 'mello was included in the fun!
Complimentary wolf ears for the kids...howling was encouraged.
Nice big fireplace with several great looking stuffed wolves.

They had a candy shop that we walked through but ultimately decided on ice cream for dessert. Only $12.99 to fill up one of those plastic cups (no thanks!).
The kids had a cute setup in their room that included a bunk bed and TV. We actually left the TV on while they fell asleep, first time we remember ever doing that.
This is the picture on the wall across from their bunk beds.

The big bucket up top was just about full and ready to dump...
Look out beloooooooowwwwwww....
The boys chillin in the lazy river...

The obstacle course
The lodge has "story time" every evening where parents and kids relax in their pajamas and listen to a story about the history of Great Wolf Lodge. It was ok, we debated cutting out early but stuck it out.

I didn't get pictures of the larger water slides but they are in the video below. We had an agreement with the kids, whoever rode the Howlin' Tornado, which was the biggest, fastest, and scariest water slide in the park, would receive a full size McFlurry (no snack size this time). Since they both rode it, they both received a reward on the ride home.
