Great Wolf Lodge was awesome. It is huge and they have everything you could ever need. We got there Friday night and got checked in and then went swimming. They have a wave pool and a lazy river which were pretty cool. Then they have a kiddie play land which had little slides and sprayers and all kinds of stuff. They also had sort of like a big toy for everybody. They had two slides that everyone could slide down and they had all kinds of buckets and sprayers that you could dump on the people below. But then, they had a bucket. Not any ordinary bucket, but like a water tower sized bucket. And about every 7 minutes, this bell would start ringing, which meant, that it was full of water and time to empty. It would tip over and the whole bucket of water would fall over the whole big toy. It was so much water. One time, we were standing right under the water and it left marks on Tim's arms. Then they had an adult hot tub and a kiddie hot tub and a swimming pool for everyone that had those floating animals in it. But, then. The motherload was the "tower". It had 5 slides on it, I think. The Tornado, the River Valley ride, and then 3 other tube rides. And they were the most awesome. The Tornado, you are in this raft and you end up in this huge tornado shaped thing and you are sliding from side to side, way up high. It was fun, but it was kinda scary. Almost felt like you were going to fall out of the raft. The River Valley ride was also in a tube and it was a little more relaxed. Then there was a green tube, an orange tube and a yellow tube. The green tube spit you out in this huge bowl thing, Tim called it the toilet bowl, and it was pretty fun. But mom and me really liked the orange tube. It went outside and then came back in and it was just the right mix of speed and non-scariness. :) There was also an outside part that they opened up on Saturday afternoon. It had a pool and two more tubes that were pretty fun. Friday night when we got there we went swimming and then went to eat at Spring Creek BBQ. Then Saturday, we got up and went to eat at IHOP and then swam until around 1. Then we went to eat lunch and came back and swam until about 6 I think. Then we were going to go to this buffett in the hotel, but it was a little on the pricy side. Any guessess?? It was $20 per person and $10 for kids. It would have cost us $100 for all us to eat there. So went to eat at Cozymels. And let me just say. That if you are in the area...DO NOT go to Cozymels. It was gross and had terrible service. Anyway. Then Sunday, we got up and just ate donuts at the hotel and swam until noon or so. It was a great vacation. It was mom's idea and it was a great idea. Thanks mom! We all had a blast and Hadley had so much fun. Monday night, he was rocking with his dad, before bed and he was saying...I get in, I get out, I get in, I get out and finally Tim asked him what he was getting in and out of and Hadley said...the swimming pool.... He cracked me up.
So, then Monday, I had a dentist appointment. I had a tooth, that a long time ago, I had a root canal on there was a crown on top. Well then last year the crown came loose and it has started to hurt me. So, last Friday, I went to the dentist and they put me on antibiotics and told me that there was still decay under the crown and the rest of the tooth would have to come out. Like all the roots and everything, down to the bone. It was kind of confusing. So, Monday, I went and had the tooth pulled. I have dentist phobia, but they gave me gas and it was like everything was A-OK. I was a little freaked out because they put stitches in there. They told me that they would disolve but it is really weird feeling in my mouth. Anyway, Monday night, the lortab was wearing off and it wouldn't stop bleeding. Then Tuesday, the pain medicine was making me throw up and my head was hurting bad. But today, I think I am ok. My tooth is still hurting, but not unbearable. My head is ok. And I've been taking half of a pain pill and that has not made me throw up. So, hopefully, I'm getting better.
Anyway. I have one Hadley funny for you today. I kept Hadley home with me today, because I was staying home from work and I didn't want to get out in the rain. So, we were watching tv and this infomercial came on for something called a Touch-N-Brush, that you put on your wall and push your toothbrush under there and it squirts out some toothpaste on there. Well Hadley was watching it and he said......I think I need one of those. I cracked up
That is funny because Nathan said we needed one of those the other day! Glad you had a good time at Great Wolfe Lodge. Hope your pain is better soon.
