We spent the last two days at Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City with the 4 youngest kids. It was a nice place. It's a large hotel with interesting decor and its own enormous indoor water park. The park was elaborate and included something for everybody! There were baby pools and baby slides, a huge play structure that everyone from adults to small children could climb, two slides from the structure, a lazy river, two hot tubs (one for adults only), water basketball, several slippery, floaty things to climb on, and 3 daredevil slides about 4 stories tall which even I went down. You had to ride down on a single, double, or even triple inner tube-- very fun for family groups. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the place was full of children. My kind of atmosphere.
On one of the days we took a short side trip to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan. It was very, very beautiful and the kids really enjoyed climbing the dunes. We had an impromptu family football game on the top of one of the dunes. (very modified rules, mind you. mom-friendly rules:). One of those special, family moments.
When we returned to GWL we had dinner, the girls had little braids put in their hair, and then back to the water park which was open until ten. It was a lively yet peaceful and enjoyable time.
But it is nice to be back.

Wow, that does sound lovely. I especially like the sound of the phrase "adult only hot tub"
Sounds wonderful!
