You may remember that just after my diagnosis last year we were treated to an amazing weekend at Great Wolf Lodge by some truly wonderful friends. We decided then that we should come back to celebrate after I beat cancer. We were fortunate enough to find a great deal online, and we thought this was the perfect time to get away, celebrate our victory, and have some quality family time before I head into the coming surgeries. Once again, it was a wonderful, blessed time for our little family.
The kids were super excited to stay in a "Kids Cabin" room; inside the standard hotel room there is a small bedroom designed to look like a log cabin. They thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Throughout October, Great Wolf celebrates Halloween by inviting the kids to dress up and go trick-or-treating throughout the lodge. Eli and Abby were really excited to have an early opportunity for wearing their costumes, an - of course - stocking up on candy!
Being a year older made a huge difference in their ability to enjoy the MagicQuest activities (especially for Abby). Here is Eli standing in front of the dragon we defeated (barely visible on the screen behind him). He earned the title of "Master Magi" and was pretty proud of himself.
In the morning we had a picnic breakfast in the cabin...
Watched a little football...
And then it was time to hit the water park again. Last time I didn't even try to take photos in the water park, so this time I really wanted to capture some of the fun on the slides. I learned, however, that it is almost impossible to get pictures of kids on water slides with poor lighting and a cheap point-and-shoot camera! Oh well, that's what memories are for!
It was a really wonderful time for our little family - we had an absolute blast!
