Veteran’s Day. A day of to remember our heroes. Thank you, Veteran’s, for protecting and defending our country.
I wanted to surprise Tot and Daddy with some fun for the day off and for a pre-birthday surprise. Great Wolf Lodge moved in to Scottsdale last year, and we have been dying to go! The indoor water park sold us! I had an opportunity to buy a deal for an overnight, so I jumped on it.
The morning started with Tatum doing her homework which isn’t due until next week, but she wanted to get it done.
Happy FALL! (finally it’s getting cold here)
At 12:45,
we left for the lodge. (she had no idea where we were going). When we arrived, Tatum was overjoyed!!! (I had all the bags packed and her school clothes for the next day).
We got our ears and waited in the line to check in. Look at these two.
They had our room ready early so we could change into our suits! This is great!
Oh, how cute the room is! Like a real lodge. And the little soaps? Sheesh. CCUUTTEE.
We finally got down to the waterpark, and we finally entered the NO MASK zone. Hooray!! it was like a sub-society of rebels. Nobody really minded any sign of 6-feet or social distancing.
See that big bucket at the top of the water contraption? It DUMPS on you when you least expect it. Speaking from experience here.
Ok, so we found the HUGE water slide that even goes outside because it’s so monstrous. We climbed the five floors to get there, entered our family raft, and KABOOM! Down down down around around around we went. It was tremendously fun.
Then, Tatum discovered the waves. Oh, just like CA but without the sand…well, and the sun and the sharks. You know..
A few other climby, ropey, obstacley things for Tot.
Whoops! See the foot?
Ok, back up again for more. And more it was. Three more hours. Doug and I played a bit with her, and we really just snuggled on the side and watched. Tot was in water heaven.
Later, we headed to our room, had dinner, played a game, read and collapsed. Truly a fun day and night.
School in the morning.
Thank you, Veterans for your service. Thank you GW Lodge for your fun.
