February School Vacation - Great Wold Lodge

 For February School Vacation we stayed local heading to Great Wolf Lodge with Oma & Opa!  None of us have ever visited one so this was new territory.  Unfortunately we ALL were sick during this week thanks to daycare germs.  The illness simply rotated between a combination of us every 2 days or so.  Thankfully that meant that others were feeling better when others were not making daily adventures a different group each time.
 Micah and Oma's favorite water activity was the Crooked Creek.  The current was not super strong which meant inner tubes needed a bit of self propulsion.
 Another favorite was shooting the water cannons at each other.
Micah and Victoria posing outside in front of the Howlin' Tornado.  This is a super-fast ride in a raft built for four.  Opa, John, Izzy & I brave this thrill ride!  We all thought the raft was going to flip as we shot up the sides of the tunnel walls!  Izzy, John & I returned at night to ride this in darkness while the tunnel was lite up in various colors.

Other rides included water slides on double inner tubes, a river raft ride and (Opa's favorite!) Wolf Tail - a launch pad ride where the floor drops out from underneath you.
 Outside of water rides, other activities included bowling, miniature golf, arcade games & rides, spa time and a ropes course.
Howlers Peak Ropes Course - There were 2 levels.  Izzy ventured to the top while Micah & Victoria took their try on the smaller structure.
