Great Wolf

Last weekend we went to Great Wolf Lodge. What a place! The kids had a great time. I was worried that they would be too young to really enjoy the facilities but I was wrong. They have a big wading area with 4 slides that Mitchell could go down solo and a couple for Derek too. Derek liked the wave pool, and thanks to our friends watching Derek, we (Mitchell, Scott and I) were able to ride the Wooly Mammoth raft ride. Throw in a lazy river, regular pool and water fort and the kids were in heaven. They were especially entertained by the image outside the entrace to the pool area that would ripple and make splashing sounds when you walked on it.

There was also an arcade and storytime in the lobby which included an animatronic show of various wildlife characters. Friday night we lucked out with a reading of the Hockey Sweater by the author himself.

The only drawback to the rooms was that they didn't get CBC (??!!??) - funny how they could get it in the bar and that's where Scott spent Saturday night watching the game.

Mitchell's favourite part of the weekend was seeing Jocelyn and Cameron. I wished that I had the chance to visit more with my friends that were there - but I guess this trip wasn't all about me :I
