Several weeks ago, we embarked on an adventure to Kansas City. Mark and the children had never been to the great state of Kansas, so we packed our bags and headed that way. We went with four other families for a long weekend of fun.
Our first stop was a visit with Mark's cousin Nancy and her precious family. Having the wisdom that comes with being a grandparent of small children, she suggested that we meet at a fine dining establishment -- Chuck E. Cheese. We had a great time visiting with them and earning tickets and eating pizza at the same time.
Afterwards, we joined our friends at the Great Wolf Lodge to stay for two nights. I had never heard of the Lodge before, but it was quite a joint! It is a combination hotel and water park, and there are twelve of them around the country. The Sunday after our visit, it was on the television show "Undercover Boss", so apparently it is quite a popular place. It is typically an expensive place to visit, but we were able to get a good deal because one of our nights was during the week, and there was a special going on. It was still more than we usually pay for a hotel, but the price also included the whole day at the water park. We took breakfasts and lunches to eat in the room to try to add a bit of frugality to the trip.
The Lodge also had a pajama story time for the children, which our littles enjoyed. There was lots of "lodgey" kind of things to look at, which gave us some good photo opportunities.
