Brandon's 7th Birthday at the Wolf Lodge

For our Christmas/Brandon's Birthday gift Aunt Gail gave us a weekend at the

Williamsburg Great Wolf Lodge.

We left work early and drove up around 3:30PM and got in around dinnertime.

 

Brandon immediately went to check out his Cabin

 Brandon requested Pizza for dinner, so after we ate

we surprised him with a Birthday Cake

(it was his real birthday afterall)

Then it was bedtime for Lily and questing for Brandon

Part of his gift was the Paw Pass

(this is where you get to do a bunch of cool things all around the lodge)

we had never had one before so he was super excited.

First he got to get a new topper for his Magic Wand and play MagicQuest all night

 

The next morning we had breakfast,

Oliver the raccoon came to visit.

Lily has a love/hate relationships with characters.

She likes them and wants to be near them but not actually touch or be alone with one.

Below is what happens when you get too close

 

After breakfast it was off to the park

Below is Brandon in the bucket O' water

 Below aren't GREAT pictures with the kids, but its all I had with them together.

 

Then Brandon goes off with daddy to do his own thing

(water slides, the lazy river, water basketball)

 

After Lunch (and Lily's nap) it was back to the pool for round 2

Lily started to get tired so we went to do some activities

Lily colored Brandon a picture, while Brandon made a tie-dyed pillow case

He also got to make a build a bear wolf and play a 4 D video game (all included in his pass)



After dinner while Brandon did more MagicQuest

Lily and I went to the dance party and then watched the clock tower show

I could tell Lily wasn't feeling great on Sat,

Sunday it became a really bad cold.

We enjoyed our last morning at the pool, but she mostly liked watching the bucket dump water while I held her in the shallow end. (She played with her feet in the sprays of water)



 Again not many pix of Brandon b/c he's always on a water slide.

below is him running on the big maze thing.

His favorite thing this trip though had to be the lazy river.

Not to relax... he likes to go without a tube, and then push me or Daddy (on a raft)

into the water that squirts from pipes or buckets of water that dump on you.

Oh well at least he enjoyed it

We finished Sunday afternoon getting Brandon's Glitter Tattoo and our family picture

Brandon keeps telling us it was the best trip ever.

Unfortunately on the way home we hit something just as we were getting onto 95

(about 30mins into our trip)

and we had to pull over on the left lane and kenn had to put on the spare.

The kids WERE sleeping before this.

I had a mini meltdown that we were going to get hit...

Luckily kenn is amazing, put on the donut and drove us home at 45miles an hour as I was way to shaken up.

We got home safely and that's what matters. Overall another memorable Birthday for Brandon!

We can't thank Aunt Gail enough!
