Spring Break at Great Wolf Lodge, Wisconsin Dells

We spent a fun few days of Spring Break at Great Wolf Lodge in the Wisconsin Dells.

Monday--After checking in and checking out the resort, we hit the water park for a couple hours. For dinner, we introduced the boys to Famous Dave's BBQ, a favorite from our Bloomington/Lincoln days.

Tuesday--We spent the morning at the water park. It is harder to get photos of Caden and Cole, but I managed to snap a few. 

Little slides perfect for Kieran

Happy guy!

Enjoying each other instead of fighting--nice change of pace!

At lunchtime, we went over to Knuckleheads, the indoor amusement park, which had pretty much everything my boys enjoy...

rides

bowling

Curt won. I lost. This is not surprising.

arcade games

After an entire afternoon at Knuckleheads, we ate dinner at Buffalo Phil's and briefly visited the outlet mall.

Wednesday--More water park fun

After Curt told me that I would not like this ride and then he tried to convince me to try it, I decided I should definitely skip it. The boys loved it though.

Caden came down first, then Cole in the second lane. Curt is getting ready to come out of the third tunnel at top.

After a morning of water fun and lunch, I went shopping at the outlet mall while Curt took the boys to play Magiquest, a special activity at our resort. It is a scavenger/treasure hunt game with electronic wands. It is a large area (maybe four floors) with slides and tunnels. You go on missions and solve riddles. We ate dinner at Moosejaw pizza after my shopping trip, and then we returned to Magiquest.

Cole and Kieran participated too, but here they are just playing around.

Thursday--Sadly, we had to head back home after our fun getaway.

We made a quick stop in Normal for gondolas at Avanti's.

We've been to the Dells twice now, once in the summer (Kalahari) and once at the end of winter (Great Wolf Lodge). We had so much fun on each trip. Great Wolf Lodge was perfect for our boys' ages. There was plenty to do in the three large indoor water areas. Plus, Magiquest was a fun evening activity. Our suite was great too. We will be making many return trips to the Dells. The boys are already asking when we are going back.
