As promised, here are a few photos from our trip to Great Wolf Lodge. The first is an image of Super Sophie – whose muscles rival those of Popeye’s as she lifts an inner tube over her head.

The second (taken by our nascent photographer, Chloe) gives you a good idea of the craziness of the slides. The blue one was everyone’s favorite, hands-down.

We arrived just at opening this morning, and for about two minutes, Sophie had the “beach” all to herself.

Chloe spent a good deal of time practicing for her future as Tarzan’s Jane.

Finally, there was also a fort. The fort provided hours of fun to kids who thought it a hoot to dump buckets of water on passersby down below. And there are a lot of buckets to dump.
