My wife and kids are going to Great Wolf with some other moms/girls this weekend. I may have to bring my dog down to SE on Saturday to have a few brews and get the dog out for a bit. EDIT - shoot, they changed the dates? Damn it!
They changed the date! Well that sucks! ABM - do you have a link to the change date news? I googled it and didnt find anyone saying the date has changed.
