WASILESKI BUNCH: June 2008

On Memorial Day weekend, we went up to Mason, Ohio to The Great Wolf Lodge. It is an indoor water park with an arcade and is completely meant for kids and families. We had so much fun~ but it was exhausting!

One of the first things we did was play a game that they have in the hotel called "Magi Quest". You buy a wand and throughout the hotel are animated screens with instructions on the game and you are on a scavenger hunt to find all the things to earn certain stones. It was so fun.

First you have to start at the trees where the wizard gives you information about your quest.

You then walk down the halls of the hotel to find the clues which are in paintings, on the ceilings, in objects, and in treasure chests. You have to point your wand at it and that will activate a voice telling you if you are at the correct thing and it collects your points.

When you find the treasure, you get gold which you will give to the Pixies later on.

This is the man in the tree that tells you how many objects you have found so far.

Here is the Pixie treehouse where the pixie completes your reward for that particular quest.

We decided to take a break from Magi Quest and relax in the room.

Then Reagan and I went down to the spa for some mother-daughter time. We both got pedicures!

Reagan was proud of her red nail polish!

She got to go to the Scoops kids spa and her feet were lavished with icecream and chocolate scented soaps and lotions

In the hotel room, the kids had their own "tent" and this was Jackson's favorite painting.

There were many cute paintings.. Grayson liked the map.

Reagan thought the binocular painting was cool!

And I loved the little squirrels.

Their "tent" had bunk beds, a table, and their own TV.

Then it was onto the water park!! This was Jackson's favorite water slide. You can see Jackson's and Reagan's heads on the slides. They were having a race.

This was a giant bucket of water that filled up and then dumped on the kids who were standing underneath.

Grayson and Chad..you can barely see Grayson lying back.

They love swimming! Grayson's eyes were so red from swimming that I made him wear his goggles.

Reagan

Jackson and his blue lips. The temperature was 85 degrees and he still had blue lips~ lol.

This is the treehouse ..the waterslides for Jackson are to the left of where this picture was taken. So much for him to do.

We decided to check out the outside pool but quickly went back into the warm pool. Still a slight breeze and freezing water.

Grayson on the snake in the pool. They spent a lot of "down" time here.

We also went to the arcade. The kids loved this roller coaster ride.

Of course I had to play Deal or No Deal and I WON!! I won 400 tickets because I got the biggest case and chanced it all to the very end!!

Grayson also liked the lazy river.

On Saturday, there was a magic show. They also had baby wolf pups for the kids to pet and a Wolf Walk where they played games as they toured the hotel.
