.: Great Wolf, Great Fun!

A perk of being military is that once in a while they offer retreats for couples. The thing is you have to ask the right people and be really quick to sign up. Thankfully, we were on the ball and hounding the right people. We ended up being able to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge for two nights on the Army and had lots of family time and some great information to pour over as a couple. Plus, we were given childcare hours so our friends that were also attending, Hans, and I could all go ride the big-kid slides at the waterpark without the kiddos. I have no pictures of these slides, but they were AWESOME! No words can describe that stomach dropping, think I made a big mistake going down this thing, but man is this great kind of feeling. Just imagine a roller-coaster on water, and no belts holding you in.

Aside from the handful of hours they spent in childcare (which both boys very much disliked!), our boys had a great time swimming in the pool and relaxing in our room watching movies and eating popcorn. Sam decided he really likes wave pools and even likes going all the way to the deepest part and floating on the waves. His mama thinks this is great fun, too. Maybe next time he'll conquer a slide or two, that just was not on his agenda this time.
