We went to Great Wolf Lodge for the 4th of July. It's beside Kings Island in Cincinnati. This place is wonderful. Lucas loved every minute of it. It's a place for kids of all ages. It has a large indoor waterpark. After checking in, we ate lunch and headed to the waterpark.
Lucas headed straight for the waterslides. He started out small, but soon headed to the larger ones. He still doesn't like to get his face wet, but he didn't let it bother him as much as before. We did several rounds in the lazy river and watched Daddy get dumped on with the bucket of 1,000 gallons of water. We walked up the tree houses and tried to avoid all of the boobie traps.
After a long day at the waterpark (Did I mention without a nap?), we got cleaned up, ate dinner, and spent time in the huge arcade. After cashing in over 650 tickets for toys, Lucas caught part of the bedtime story in the lobby.
The lobby has a huge tower clock. At night, the clock comes alive and tells stories and sings. The trees and all of the animals move and talk. He loved it. He sat in the floor and watched with all of the other children. He just smiled and clapped when they sang.
After storytime, we headed to the outdoor pool for fireworks. We had the perfect seat. This is the first year that Lucas has stayed awake for them. He enjoyed watching them, but was getting really tired, so we headed in just before the finale.
Needless to say, he crashed hard and slept until almost 9:00 am this morning. After breakfast and checking out, we headed to the waterpark again. We stayed until Lucas just couldn't go anymore and then headed home. He had a great nap on the way home, so I hope he sleeps good tonight too.
We had a great time. This place is a bit pricey, but was worth every penny! The whole place is made for kids and Lucas has already asked when we can go back. Hmmm. I feel another weekend trip coming on. Maybe someone can go with us next time.

Glad Lucas had such a good time.It looks like he did everything he could do.It looks like it wasn't to crowded,but I know why---all the people were in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg!
Buzzy wants to go! Doesn't Cincinnati have a good zoo too?
They are supposed to have a great zoo. The Reds play there also. Oh yeah, the Newport Aquarium is there too.
It looks like Lucas had a great time. Sure looks like its made for kids, big and little. I know Buzzy would like it!! They are supposed to have a really good zoo.
