• Great Wolf Lodge

  I slept at this massive place called the Great Wolf Lodge.
  
  

  

  
  
  I woke up really early that Wednesday morning, thank goodness to because I didn’t get everything ready for that day and my mom randomly wanted to go early. Thankfully I got ready on time.
  It was a two hour drive to the lodge; I slept pretty much all the way there. I sleep upward in the car now because in drivers ED I learned how much damage it can cause your body if you’re not properly fastened in your seatbelt. It’s pretty disgusting!
  
  The first thing we did when we got there was swim in their big indoor water park. There are so many things to do there! My siblings and I decided to go on the smaller water slides before tackling the bigger one. Then we went straight to the big one with our parents, the wait wasn’t too long and I personally thought the line went pretty quickly.
  My siblings and I were able to ride the slide at the same time because they had a four person inflatable doughnut thing. The water slide tunnel was pretty dark for the longest time, and then suddenly there is this huge drop, completely uncalled for and I thought I was going to die! Right after the drop you’re suddenly in huge, striped tunnel and you’re sliding from the far left of it to the far right, really quickly. The tunnel shrinks the farther you go down, kind of like a funnel and thrusts you out really quickly. I loved that ride, it was so amazing! This ride is most memorable, even though we went on some other pretty cool things.
  
  After a few hours at the indoor water park we moved our luggage to our hotel room and for some reason my mom was freaking out the whole time, even though she didn’t help do anything. Its ok, I packed pretty light so it wasn’t much of a problem.
  
  I almost forgot to mention that, you get these bracelets to swim and for your hotel room. The one you get for your hotel room opens your hotel door which I thought was pretty amazing. The yellow one is for swimming and the big orange one is the hotel key. Everyone was pretty much tired, and took a nap. I didn’t mean to take a nap but someone turned on the television and that pretty much lulled me to sleep for about four hours!
  
  I woke up and wandered around, I found a penny squishier machine and I squished it. We shopped around a bit and I bought a pretty cool necklace and then went to the store across called Magic Quest, which is basically a big scavenger hunt around the lodge. You goal is to pretty much find everything the quickest you can and beat out all the other people on the score board, while just having fun. You buy a wand, which you can customize; it registers your name, username and everything you find on the scavenger hunt. I originally started it with both my siblings but my brother got lazy and tired and I pretty much did it with my sister. There is so much running around between stairs, I pretty much ran for about four hours. I got lost a couple of times during the scavenger hunt but I finished all my quests in the booklet and got one of the highest rankings.
  
  I still have some out of book quests, which is in adventure mode and they are a little bit harder. I have yet to slay the dragon at the end; I am kind of looking forward to it. I wonder how some of the younger people get really huge scores!
  I may be going back to the Great Wolf Lodge really soon. Cathy invited me to go on the twenty-eighth of this month but I think my other neighbor, Aunty Mila invited me to go as well but I think it is on the same day! She wants me to pretty much baby sit her only son Louie while her and her husband “bond”. I am excited for whatever happens.
