Wisco Dells

We had such a fun time visiting Wisconsin Dells last year that we decided to plan a getaway there again, this time staying at the Great Wolf Lodge (thanks to cousin Bryson for his sweet employee discount!).  We had an awesome time for the second time there!  So many memories from my childhood vacations there, fun to experience it all again from a different lens.

On the road!

Wolf ears upon check in

Lots of things for kids to interact with all over the lodge.

a little vacation snooze never hurt anybody

Supper club dinner at Ishnala may have been one of my favorite things about the trip.

Luke reading Grandpa's original Tom Swift books from when he was a little boy.  So sweet.

That's what I'm talking about!  Brandy old fashioned was AHHHHHmazing.

Dining in the trees of the actual Wisconsin dells!

The kids loved playing Magiquest, which is sort of like a scavenger hunt all over the Magiquest building and the lodge itself. 

Mirror Maze! Luke really wanted to do this last year and it thwarted us, so we made sure to get it this time and he loved it.

Open air lunch on the main drag of downtown

Hiking

Waterpark at Great Wolf was awesome.  Indoor and outdoor.

Restaurant where the food comes on the train.

The kid loves his cheesecake

Rick Wilcox Magic Show was a hit with everybody

Stopped at the Cave of the Mounds on the way back home.  Luke LOVED the caves.  Claire was a bit freaked out by being underground, but overall did pretty well.

Back home!  Great vacation!
