Chinese proverb

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break."

The gift of a getaway...

Last year, right before we traveled to China, my amazing friends at work surprised me with a gift certificate for Great Wolf Lodge.  So that we could spend a little time away as a family once we brought Audra home. 

Well, we all know what happened once Audra got home...
and then summer was over before we knew it,
and the rush of back to school and the holidays kept us busy,
and then spring was here! 

Finally, in March, I chose a date and made a reservation...May 18th-20th.
And the timing couldn't have been more perfect! 
After Sean's big diagnosis earlier this month, we all needed to get away. 

I'll let the pictures tell the story...




 wearing their wolf ears

so many activities...what to do first?...



...the waterpark, of course!








the wave pool



the lazy river


the obstacle course


the slides


the famous 1000 gallon bucket dump





Once we were water logged for the day,
there was endless fun to be had throughout the rest of the resort...

a buffet breakfast
 with characters!
 

Magiquest and Shadow quest




the arcade


mini bowling

(not to be confused with mini golf...they have that too! 
actually mini-glow-in-the-dark golf)
more character sightings

bedtime stories by the huge fireplace

the kids cabin inside of our room,
with a set of bunk beds and a single bed



We packed more fun into 2.5 days than we have had in a while :)
