Our vacation to the Great Escape Lodge and Indoor Water Park

We left Wednesday morning and headed to Queensbury, NY for a mini vacation.  We stayed at the Great Escape Lodge since we heard that the water park at the Lodge was amazing.  Everyone who suggested it was so right!  It had lots of fun water activities for every age group.  Since we went during the week and in their off season, we got a great deal on the rooms and the park was not at all busy.

There was a great area for the little kids.  All of the boys loved it, including Charlie...

They also had an area designed for bigger kids (or ones that are more adventurous than ours!).  It had a huge bucket at the top that filled up and dumped on the area as well as some cool small water slides...

They also had an arcade which the boys enjoyed as well.  They loved all the flashing lights and had a great time racing cars...

And there was basketball...

One of the favorite parts of the vacation was the "lazy river".  I think the boys liked that aspect the most.  They got on a tube (with one of us hanging on to the tube) and raced the other down the river.  Nicolas even managed to get Mom-I and Pop-I to accompany him in the river.  Let's just say that for the adult with them, it was anything but lazy!  It was quite the workout...

 

There were also some big water slides.  There was only one of them that we could go in with the big boys.  The only thing was that it was pitch black in the tunnel (we did not know that going in) and the boys were quite scared.  But, they were willing to go down it again.  We were very proud of them for being willing to try it again.

It was an amazing time!  We will definitely be going back again...
