Wisconsin Dells

Our friends have a time share in Wisconsin and had to use it quickly before the year was up.  They invited us to join them and we jumped at the chance.  We shared a two bedroom condo the first night which was a challenge when it came time to put the kids down.

We went to three different water parks and boy did we have fun.  Here’s everyone waiting for one of the pools to open.  (Lisa, Jane, Tim, Barrett, Charlotte, Hunter, RJ, McKenna and Reagan)  This pool was perfect because the deepest part was 4 foot (lazy river).  Everything else was 0-2 feet.  There were some fun rides too.  Hunter and I went on the two man and four man rides.  I was proud of him for pushing through his fear on the Hurricane.

Every morning we came to the pool for the duck races in the lazy river.  The first three ducks in three heats won duck whistles.  The fourth race winner got the grand prize of a whistle, T-shirt and fun pass.  Charlotte won a whistle each day and the grand prize the third day!  Barrett and Jane also won prizes.  My poor kids hung around until they simply gave every kid a whistle because the masses had finally left (we stayed Sun-Wed).

On the second day, we went to a 10 and under pool followed by the wave pool.  McKenna was tall enough for a fast ride in a tube so I took her three times and so did RJ.

We loved our Condo.  We ate lunch and dinner in our room each day and let the little ones nap or watch TV for a short time before heading back out to play.  We also enjoyed the jacuzzi tub (so did the kids) and games with friends.  It was a great break and well worth hauling Hunter out of school for three days.  We hope to start a tradition of fun family vacations that the kids will remember.
