Wisconsin Dells

Last Thursday and Friday we went to Wisconsin Dells with the Thompson's. We had a blast. We stayed at the Kalahari Resort and Water park. The kids were great, and it was a very impressive hotel. We wish we could have stayed longer, but the kids definitely were exhausted by the end of day two and we were ready to get them home. The nice thing about this water park was that the kids could go on the big water slides as long as they were with an adult. We took both Gavin and Brooklyn on the big ones. They LOVED them. Gavin laughed hysterically. Brooklyn and mommy even went on a uphill water slide roller coaster. We both decided half way through the ride, we did not like it. It was a little scary, But we did it. I'm so proud of her. Here are a couple pictures that I took. I am so mad that I didn't get any pictures of our families together, let alone any of Quinn and Garrett with Brooklyn and Gavin. I guess I'll remember that for next year!

Here are the kids in front of a jungle setting, too bad you can't see it.

Brooklyn at the bottom of just one of the 8 slides she went down.

Here is a baby lion looking in a mirror at another WILD baby lion!

We also got to see a baby kangaroo! They were the cutest little guys

Just before we headed home we got the kids chocolate suckers. Looking back now, It was not a good idea, they didn't fall asleep in the car until 3 hours into the drive back.

All in all, we had a great trip. This will count as our summer vacation, due to the high gas prices and airplane tickets these days. Here is a little video of Brian with the kids on the lazy river! Notice the quarter size red bump on Gavin's forehead. He ran into another little boy on a slide who was just sitting at the end of it not getting off. Little Gavin has no patience so he went head first down the slide into the other little boys head. The other kid was probably 5 and cried harder than Gavin, but had nothing to show for it. All is well.
