Great Wolf Lodge - Niagara Falls

Welcome to one of my favourite highlights of our trip = Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls.  Google it...you want to (or maybe not because than you will want to go) and if you want to go, I'm the biggest supporter of it! 

One word = AMAZING!  

I can't wait to go back.  (ps.  there are about a dozen in the US.  This is the only one in Canada.)

After we left Port Dover we headed to Niagara Falls Thursday afternoon and checked into Great Wolf Lodge for 2 nights.  This was a chance for us to spend some time as a family.  I looked forward to these few days because we hadn't really had some good quality solo time since prior to my surgery and I felt that it was important for our children and my soul.  

Steve and I have seen commercials on the Lodge for many years and it is something that I have wanted to do since.  If you have a family with young children, trust me - it is worth your money!  Our kids had such a fantastic time.  Sorry for the boatload of pictures in this post...I just couldn't decide which ones to show you - so I have shown you them all :)  Enjoy our few days at the Lodge.  

The Waterpark

The most impressive waterpark that I have EVER been too!  

It's hard work being a princess

Lazy River Ride

Arcade Time

The boys LOVED the arcade area.  It was defintely one of the highlights for them :) 

Mckenzie wasn't exactly having an exciting time in the arcade room :)

Great Wolf Lodge also has "Cub Club".  It's an area that totally shouted "Falon Willis" to me - she's one of my bestie's and is all star mom!  You can take your child down there and there are crafts, toys, airbrush tattoos, balloons, and painting to entertain them.  In the evening, they have different activities geared for the children (ours were still to young for the evening activities...minimum age 4).    Ryder and I went down to see what Cub Club was all about one afternoon.  

Evening story time in the Grand Living Room (you even are encouraged to wear your pj's!)

I look forward to the day that Mckenzie is old enough that her and I can check out Scooops.  It's the spa that is geared to little girls under 12.  Sooooo fun.  In the meantime, I took my little family in there and attempted some pictures (Ezra had just been woke up from his nap...when that happens = crankypants).    

Special Evening Snack Treats!  Chocolate Covered Marshmellows (Ryder) 

and wolf snack pack (Ezra).  

Time spent in our room:

Ezra in the kids cabin sleeping area in our room.  Bunk beds with their own tv.  

Steve's brother, Chris and family (Catherine and Matthew) came and visited with us Friday night.  It was such a pleasure to have the chance to finally meet Catherine and spend some time with them.  Chris is such a fun crazy guy and it is so nice to see him happy!  He also loves to spoil his nephews....in the two gift bags amongst all the "stuff" were these soother suckers.  What goofs!  

Check out time.
