Great Wolf Lodge and other odds and ends

 Great Wolf Lodge is just plain awesome. Ryan, Kathryn and I spent just about 24 hours there and easily could have stayed 24 more.  Watching Ryan explore, try new things and fully soak up his surroundings was such a gift to me.  Living life again through his 5 year old eyes.  Kathryn was limited to what she could do, based on age and height.  We spent the time with a wonderful family we met through the YMCA. Ryan and their middle daughter Breanna have become good buddies.  Their older daughter, Carly loves to love on Kathryn - and Kathryn loves to accept. Win win! 



 At 8 pm there was a show, in the lobby.  Upon completion of the snow (winter/holiday theme) it "snowed".  Bubble snow. Ryan, after realizing what was really happening exclaimed, "Snow! Snow!  This is the greatest day ever!!"  With his wonderful 5 year old giggle, and spinning around, arms held up under the "snowflakes".  Priceless.
Odds and ends:








 I found some more pictures from our trip to Tokeland. I like them too much, had to post.

 Found a friend in the marsh.  Kathryn had no problems holding that cute little crab.
