The "Kids' Cabin" in our $469 suite. (12/31/2006 3p)

(Keep the number $469 in mind. It will come up again at the end of the slideshow.)

Our half of the suite.

Face painting and "create-a-bookmark" and coloring activity for kids. (7:30p 12/31/2006)

Such concentration! (Note the tongue)

Gotta stay in the lines...gotta stay in the lines...

Hula Hoop and Karaoke activity. (12/31/2006 7:45p)

Picking out their karaoke songs... (12/31/2006 8:05p)

"Fortunately" they did not have time to sing before our 8:30 dinner reservation.

Captivated by the 8 year old singing Spice Girls songs.

Quick snapshot in lobby before dinner. The "7" fell behind the zero. (12/31/2006 8:20p)

Dinner...or more like dessert. (12/31/2006 9:30p)

The guy in the back, a Bears fan, ordered a 100 oz. beer served in its own "keg tube."

Time for the duck race (12/31/2006 9:50p)

(12/31/2006 9:53p)

Is that our duck in the lead? He wants it more!!! (Simpsons reference) Actually, we did not place in top 3 but the people across the hall from us finished 3rd, won $100.

The dumping of the bucket that happens every 5 minutes. (12/31/2006 10:00p)

Devestated by the duck race loss. (12/31/2006 10:15p)

Paparrazi snapping photos as we enter the New Year's party in lobby. (12/31/2006 10:35p)

Energetic at 10:45p. Preston was out cold by 11:00p, but awake again at 11:45p.

"Its too loud!" Toilet paper in the ears solves that. (12/31/2006 10:51p)

11:25p and Theodore seems a bit dazed.

Ain't no party like a Carson Daly party... (12/31/2006 11:58:36p)

Happy New Year!!! (1/1/2007 12:01a)

I told you Preston would wake back up!

Time for bed. (1/1/2007 12:25a)

12:26a

12:27a

Glow sticks ROCK!

Waterpark New Years Day morning.

Remember $469 for the night? Hmmm. "Maximum room rate: $400"

I wonder if somewhere in the fine print it also forewarned me that the liquor in Sandusky, OH is watered down.... Oh well, we had a blast. Recommend it to anyone with kids: www.greatwolflodge.com
