The Great One

No, I’m not talk about myself, but thank you. I’m talking about the wolf, The Great Wolf Lodge that is. I went with the kiddos this past weekend, and yes the trip was free, but it was a Girl Scout leader’s perk, not because I’m a noteworthy travel columnist.

Anyway, the Wolf was fabulous and I have video to prove it! The kiddies loved the dump bucket, the slides, the rope course and the wave pool. I loved that it was free and that they had a blast!

Okay, I liked the water slides too and the rope course was a hoot. My friend Cyndi challenged me to a race and it was on! (Imagine something you would see on the show Wipe Out). I was well in the lead until I lost my footing and ended up hanging by my finger tips over the pool. Then I decided the effort to pull myself back up was not worth the sore muscles that would result and dropped into the drink. Cyndi managed to make it to the end of the course with her feet, but couldn't quite get the rest of her body on the landing pad and was stuck in limbo yelling for help. I finally stopped laughing long enough to give her a hand but I so wish I had caught that on video, damn the luck.

If you are going to the Wolf, you are going to need to know a few things so read my full review in my online column and make sure you watch the video at the end for a reason to smile.
