Breakfast with
Santa creates
sweet memories
The Great Wolf Lodge hosted a Breakfast with
Santa for Chehalis Tribal members and their
families Dec. 19.
Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus were there to visit
and help make special family holiday moments.
This is the third year Great Wolf Lodge has
invited tribal members to join in the festive
activities creating a family tradition.
Santa was seen roaming around the room
visiting with children and their families.
The children were a little shy but they did
share what they wanted for Christmas. Some
were scared, but those precious moments were
priceless.
After eating a delicious breakfast provided
by Great Wolf Lodge, families gathered to
take a picture with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. There
wasn’t an age limit either – great grandparents,
grandparents, adults and children alike made the
most of the opportunity to take a photo.
A special treat from Mrs. Claus made an
added memory, and the candy canes did not last
very long as they were gobbled up quickly by the
children.
We cannot forget to thank the hardworking
staff who planned this event. Also to the cooks
and staff who helped create the delicious meal
provided by Great Wolf Lodge.
Thank you all for setting the tone for a
memorable experience for the 2015 Christmas
season!
