Saturday: a tour of McDonalds

We took a vacation day today.  The boys were super excited about it, until we told them we were going on a t

our of McDonald's.  We were going to try out a whole bunch of them and rate them on the food and how the looked, etc.

The boys were not amused.

So we stopped at another McDonalds (drive through this time, to get a cookie).  The boys were very not amused and possibly worried; it was hard to tell.

But we finally reached our true destination, Great Wolf Lodge, and gained some wolf pups.  Joshua wore his ears for quite a while.

We elected to do some of the non-water park things while waiting for our room to be ready.  In hindsight, this might not have been the best idea as they had to switch our room and then it took about an hour for them to clean the new one.  I'll admit...I really wanted to get into a room by the end.  I'm not sure why I cared quite so much, honestly.  Ben and I both had headaches and that wasn't helping anything.

Anyway, enough ranting.  Besides not having a room, we had a good time.  The boys especially loved the magic wands, as we expected would happen.  Joshua is ready to fight the bad guys and didn't stop telling us.

We made stuffed dragons.

We ate ice cream.

And watched a science show.

We waited around a bit longer, looking at the water park, and finally our room was ready.  We took a brief rest and headed out for dinner.

After dinner we were getting ready for the water park and the boys were being so silly.  It was crazy.  Joshua was looking for his swimsuit, stepped on it, and still couldn't find it.  So...fun stuff like that.  We finally all managed to get ready and left for the water park.

We all had a good time.  Isaac is big enough to go on the slides unaccompanied if he desires.  (How did that happen?!?)  If he was able to go with a parent he did that though.  The nice part about doing the water park "late" is that the lines were pretty fast.  Joshua did a lot of laps around the lazy river, but seemed to have a good time still.  I'm hoping he'll go down one of the little slides tomorrow; I think he'd enjoy it.

The boys managed to fall asleep even though there was a ton of noise in the hallway.  Phew.
