This year, we wanted something within easy driving range, and in Canada because none of us have our passports.  I&#8217;d heard a lot of good things about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/niagara\">Great Wolf Lodge<\/a> in Niagara Falls.  They have indoor and outdoor water slides, water parks for big and little kids, and fun rooms kitted out like cabins.  When I mentioned it to my brother and his wife, they were foolishly enthusiastic about joining us.  Five kids between one and seven &#8212; should be a blast!  <\/p>\n<p>We got a great discount for Great Wolf Lodge when we booked back in March.

Note to self:  bring sandwich baggies to protect camera!<\/p>\n<p>Any recommendations for things to do with young kids in Niagara Falls?  Thoughts on tackling Marineland with a toddler? Restaurant recommendations also welcome!<\/p>\n<p>(And no, I promise, I did not book this year&#8217;s vacation based on potential photo opportunities.
