Recently, we teamed up with the Edwards family. This adorable party of four decided to try out some of our original at-home activities. First, the Edwards embark on our delicious s&#8217;mores-in-the-oven recipe. After that, they head into the living room to create their very own wolf den.<\/p>\n<p>Both activities are designed to get the family together for some quality time. We know it&#8217;s not always easy to organize ways to have fun as a family, so use this video as a guide. See how much Mom, Dad and the boys enjoy sampling chocolate as they make their s&#8217;mores and piling into their new fort!<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video below to watch the Edwards recreate these amazing family favorites:<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"padding-bottom: 35px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ylacsqDx-dw\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>S&#8217;mores-in-the-Oven<\/h2>\n<div class=\"content-box-blue\"><em>Take a look at a Great Wolf Lodge original recipe.
