The Decker Girls and The Webb Zoo go to Great Wolf Lodge...

Great Wolf lodge is about 2 hours from us in Charlotte NC.
It is a huge indoor water park just for kids.
We had so much fun.
These pictures are not the best quality.
I didn't even get my big Camera out.
I used Kylie's new video Camera, that she got for her birthday.
It is kid tough and water proof but the still pictures are only 5mp.
It was better than nothing.
There was no way my big camera was coming out in this place.

This is the Green and Orange slides and water tower that Keira and Kylie went on constantly.
Before you enter the park they measure the kids hieght.
Keira was cleared to ride everything.
Kylie was cleared for everything but the Tornado (not that she was going to want to go on that).
Bella and Jaxson were cleared for the Green and Orange slide but they had to go on alone (they didn't allow two people together).
Jaxson didn't want to go on but dare devil Bella want to so bad.


They had a few different areas to play in.
A toddler area with Jet Ski's and water guns.
A few smaller slides.


Oh and through out each area they had gears and buckets.
So you could be walking and a kids somewhere would turn a gear and you would get a bucket of water dumped on your head.

They thought it was so cool to shoot Sissy.



We arrived on Thurs around lunch time and to our surprise our room was ready.
Normally check in is at 4pm on arrival day but you can enter the water park at 1pm on arrival day.
We stayed over one night and checked out at 11am.
Then we stayed all day at the park.
We did a picnic lunch at my Truck.




They had a four person water slide.
Everyone but Bella and Jaxson went on that, we took turns.

























Everyone loved the wave pool.











When we first got to the park, Jaxson didn't want to go on anything.
He kept putting his head down and cried he didn't want to go.
I got him some new goggles and he turned into a fish.




Keira Loved the floating logs



Sissy got in some Tough Mudder training.















Bella wanted to try goggles too.


Kylie made it across the logs with her BFF cheering her on.




We watched Keira and Kylie go down these two slides 
at least 20+ times.

There were a lot of little kids, smaller toddlers than Bella going down.





Kylie at the top of the slide



After watching Kylie and Keira go down and other smaller toddlers.
It was Bella's turn.
Jenn took her up and Bella went down the smaller slide and Jenn went down right in the slide next to her.




The first kid I saw all day not come down the slide sitting up or facing forward, was poor Bella.
Plus Jenn missed it because she was coming down the green one at the same time.




With raccoon goggle eyes and a unhappy Bella
we decided to called it a day and headed back to our room.

In our room the kids had their very own kid cabin.


In the Lobby they had a show.





























 20 Years BFF's 1/2 my life I've know this chick!
She is awesome!







Here are a few more videos for your viewing pleasure.

They had all kinds of things dumping water and spraying you.
Sporadically a bell alarm would go off and we knew the big bucket would dump.


We'll call this next one "around and around they go".


Keira and Kylie 
This is the Orange slide that Bella went down


This is our little fish Jaxson and it was the first time I put the camera completely under water.
I have to say I am pretty impressed with this camera.
Kylie wanted a kid barbie video camera (it runs over $100).
Those kid camera's are crap too, I just didn't want to spend that much on a kid camera.
I started researching and found this little gem.
The reviews were all good.
Most were people saying they got it for their "Tween" or 7 or 8 year old.
One reviewer took it rafting, parachuting and sip lining and it survived a fall in the jungle.
It is supposed to be tough and water proof.
However, the still pictures didn't get great reviews.
But figuring it was less than half of the Barbie one I couldn't go wrong.
I am happy with it.
Kylie loves it.
After seeing what pictures she took with her other camera, 
I am just afraid of what she will catch on video.

Fishy Fishy Jaxson...




This is Bella and Jaxson going down the toddler slide.
Half way down Jaxson gets sprayed from one of the sporadic waves of water.
He didn't seem to mind.


I call this one "Holy Cow, Holy Cow"


My Turn...



And Last but not least...
Jaxson getting Mommy.
I just was walking over to get Kylie and Keira going down the slide and I forgot about the sprayer.
It is a big life guard chair.
When you pull the ropes it triggers water to dump and Jaxson got me.


As you can tell from our pictures and video....
WE HAD SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!
