    This is a little nutty, but if you're near any of 11 Great Wolf Lodges on March 26, you and the kids can help set a new world record in watersliding, of all things. You don't have to be staying at the hotel, and your participating helps raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters. See http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Great-Wolf-Lodge-to-Break-prnews-1158...
