Great Wolf Lodge and Zuri's First Movie

I'm finally getting around to getting our vacation pictures off of my phone and posting about vacation.  :o)

We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Cincinnati last Monday through Wednesday and had a wonderful time.  Zuri did great on the car ride there and back.  We walked around after checking in, until our room was ready.  We noticed some kids with wands walking around opening treasure chests, etc.  We asked where they got it and so off we went to get Zuri one.  It was the craziest best investment during the trip.  Zuri enjoyed playing a Magi and doing magic.  Once the room was ready, we ate lunch and then went swimming for a couple hours.  After swimming, we (okay, me and Zuri) were tired so we went back to the room for a little nap.  Then off to dinner.  Each night at 8pm, the Lodge has a bedtime story so we went to that.  While waiting, we ran into one of Zuri's classmates and her mom and sister (small world!).  Zuri loved the bedtime story.

Tuesday, we went to breakfast and then got to the waterpark right as it opened, at 10am.  I took my phone that day so we could get some pictures.  Zuri loved going down the small slides, as you saw in this previous post (http://www.princesszurilane.blogspot.com/2013/11/miss-adventurous.html).  Daddy got Zuri to go down the big orange slide and she wasn't so excited about that  HA!!  We also played in the arcade Tuesday and had ice cream and pizza.  Of course, we also listened to the bedtime story.  Zuri pushed her way to the front of the crowd to watch and then when they did the dance, Zuri got right next to Wiley the Wolf and the employee.  It was cute!

Wednesday, we decided to head out after checkout at 11am because Zuri was getting sick (boooo).  We stopped in Oldenburg to eat at Daddy's favorite fried chicken place, Wagner's.  Zuri loved the crackers and the grilled cheese.  :o)

When we got home, we (me and Zuri) took a nap and then we went to dinner with family and went to see the movie Frozen with them as well.  That was Zuri's first movie experience and she did very well!

Here are some pictures.....

Welcome to Great Wolf Lodge!

Oh, I forgot to mention there was a Starbucks IN THE LODGE!!

Zuri met this girl and told me to leave her alone so she could color with her.

Daddy and Zuri!

Look Daddy, no hands!

I can do it all by myself!

See, told you!

Day 2: Notice Zuri in the front, standing up.....

Uh oh, she has followers now..

She had to be right up front!

We met Wiley the Fox.



This was after breakfast Wednesday and I thought it was the cutest thing ever.

Zuri wanted to put 2 ponytails in Daddy's hair.

Time to head home.

This is Daddy's favorite fried chicken place.

I'll just have crackers.

Daddy can have his fried chicken.

Ready to see the movie!
