Great Wolf Lodge

One of our Christmas presents was a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge and this is the weekend!!! We were all pumped because we had heard so many amazing things about this fantastic indoor water park and with this seeming like such a very long winter already, we were more than ready for a little get away.
We went with the Sherren Family and were ready for some real fun. Unfortunately our Saturday was a but of a bust as the water park kept having to close things down temporarily. We managed threw it but didn't make for a very fun day as we didn't get on any water slides and the rest of the park was very crowded as a result.
They had Story time in the Lodge at night...

Time for the Water Park!!

The Lazy River...

The challenge - get across without falling in! Taking on the sea serpent...
Hanging with Mom in the swimming pool... The Wave Pool...
Our last day ended up being a better day. We got to go on some water slides and do some more stuff. It was a nice get away but don't think we would go back there the next time we wanted to get away from it all.

Hamilton Bulldogs Game

Curtis had the honour of being goalie when his Timbits team was invited to be the half-time entertainment at the Hamilton Bulldogs Game (the AHL affiliates for Montreal Canadians).

They got their own dressing room (very cool)!
Off to watch some of the real game before the half-time show.It's half-time!
Here come the stars!
It was a blast for the 10 minutes they were on but boy were the nets big!!!
