Niagara Falls/Great Wolf Lodge

So the Hubster turned 40 on Tuesday and we went away to celebrate.  Well actually we have gone away the last couple of his birthdays, but this one was way more fun.

The American side of the falls ROCKS!  It is beautiful and so much more hands on.

Is any other parent going OH there is no fence behind them.  That's right folks, you have to have your kids about you.  No goofing around.

This one has a fence so this guy was safe.

One lady complimented Ella on her goggles, they are fancy and in this case totally practical.

So as I am walking up these stairs I am questioning how safe can this really be?  Would we do it again, in a heartbeat, but next time we would pack a picnic and make a day of it.

So even though it was a little hot and sticky out, kids always find a way to make it fun.  Like counting all the stairs as we climb to the top (there was 48), or walking on the huge stones that line the roadway.  There is always kids work to be done.

Great Wolf staff, embarrassing the Hubster as they sing Happy Birthday!

  She is howling, hair doesn't matter at a time like this.

 So in the words of Great Wolf Lodge, have a great wolf day. HOOWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL!!!!

Just hanging out!

So today was one of those days that it was just fun to hang out in the sun with the kids at the park. 

Popsicles were enjoyed while in a daze.

 Fire poles were slid down, and monkey bars conquered.

Shade was found, and after all that the kids were invited into a neighbours pool to cool off.  Boy was it cool.  I am thankful for these simple days.
