As the boys played we quickly and quietly packed the car. Sam had asked that morning if we could do something special to celebrate Kindergarten Graduation. We said we could probably do something fun. He really wanted to go to the Children's Museum. We said, what if there was something even more fun that we could do?
After lunch we piled in the car -- and Sam wondered why their backpacks were in there -- we didn't usually bring them to the Children's Museum. Then he really began asking questions! He wanted to know if there was anything in the trunk...were we staying in Washington state...how long would we be in the car...were we going to Grammie and Poppy's house...were we going to Grandpa and Nana's house? Then he asked for another clue. We told him we were going somewhere that he had been once before and he thought it was really fun.
This is what he looked like when he figured
out we were going to Great Wolf Lodge!

The boys played so hard for two days and were exhausted! Sam and Zak loved being in the water all day long. Sam went on the raft rides over and over again and Zak could have stayed in the wave pool the entire time.
We had such a great time as a family -- and it was fun to surprise the boys!
Wow!, what fun. I was able to share in the excitement as you described the build-up to the revelation of the destination. The water park looked fun. We just had our grandkids from Col. last week and Evie sure enjoyed our big inflatable pool. Happy Summer and Happy Fourth of July!! Ron
