Carolina Girls: Great Wolf Lodge

Rather than have a birthday party with friends this year, we headed to The Great Wolf Lodge to celebrate Molly's birthday.

Before hitting the water slides, we had Molly's birthday lunch at a Japanese Steakhouse. A favorite of Molly and Lindsey's.

Lindsey and her great smile and infectious laugh at lunch.

While David was checking us in, we went exploring around Great Wolf. The girls checking out the water park.

When we got to our room to change, I wasn't sure we'd be able to get the girls back out. They LOVED playing in their section of the room in the bunk beds and of course the hit for Lindsey was having their own T.V.

Sister love!

After a fun water filled day, we had Molly's birthday dinner at one of the lodge restaurants. We finished the meal off with a huge cotton candy sundae.

In the lobby of the lodge, they have a show at night for the kids and then do a bedtime story. They also taught the kids the Wolf Lodge cheer; clap, clap, stomp, stomp, ahooooooooooo. Lindsey is quite the Great Wolf Lodge Ahooooooooer.

We decided to forget all about routines and getting our girls to bed at a decent hour. After the story time, we lost all of our senses and let the girls get tattoos.

Once tattooed, we headed to the arcade. The girls had never been in one before and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Molly was into the rides and Lindsey enjoyed playing the games with David.

Finally, we headed to the room to get our exhausted girls to bed. They loved the bunk beds and enjoyed donuts in bed while watching cartoons Sunday morning. Doesn't get much better than that for our two.
