Great Wolf Lodge

This past weekend we went for a mini-family vacation. We left late Sunday afternoon and got back late on Tuesday afternoon. Destination: The Great Wolf Lodge. For those of you who haven't heard of it, it is an indoor water park up in Centralia, WA. It was a lot of fun. They had plenty for us to do....water slides, a wave pool, a hot tub, water games, etc. During our stay at the lodge, we made four trips to the pools. It was nice breaking it up, so Jaycoby didn't get too burned out.
They also had an arcade (Jaycoby was excited to see "Chuck E. Cheese" was there....apparently all arcades are CEC to him), so we had to make one stop there. While in the arcade, I had questioned another guest about how to play this big ticket-winning game. He seemed like a pro and was happy to give me a bunch of advice. We happened to bump into him back at the ticket counter and he told the employee that we could have his remaining tickets. It was almost 500 tickets! We were able to buy Jaycoby a stuffed wolf to remember his trip by, so we were excited about it (we hadn't even won 200 tickets on our own).
