Great Wolf Lodge, Jan 2016

Boots and Swimsuits

We took advantage of a groupon deal to celebrate our November (Noah, Alexa) and December (Ian) birthdays. The birthday children weren't too excited when I told them that this was the plan instead of parties with grandparents, cousins and friends. They had never been. Final verdict: they want to celebrate their birthdays there every year!

 

My amazing husband carried Noah up multiple flights of stairs at least 8 times so that he could go down the water slides. Quite a feat. As Noah continues to grow, this won't be possible anymore. Any ideas? Crawling up the stairs without protection would tear up his skin. He is a champion crawler so a heavy-duty "sock" that covered his knees might work. Please pass on any ideas you have. Noah could also use protection from the rough bottom of the pool and the rough surface around pools. Greg and I carried him from place to place, but independence would be better, especially as he grows. Children often don't get swim legs until they are done growing because prosthetic legs are so expensive. (Noah's tiger legs cost much more than our new-to-us minivan. We are very thankful for his medical insurance!) Just mentioning all of this in case anyone comes across a more doable solution.

By the way there is another groupon for the Mason Great Wolf Lodge right now!

Unlimited free ice cream for everyone in the birthday child's party! How much ice cream could you eat in 1 1/2 days?!
