Wisconsin Dells Part 1

For Christmas last year, my parents wanted to take the whole family on a vacation to the Wisconsin Dells and to an indoor water park. We went this past week to do both! It was so much fun! We stayed at the Wilderness Resort and it had 7 water parks! 4 were outside, and 3 were indoors. Even though it was nice outside, we mainly opted for the indoor ones with the little munchkins. I didn't want them to get overheated or too much sun! We had a blast and the kids slept very well the first 2 nights! They were absolutely exhausted!Here is one of the indoor parks. This is just part of the play area for kids. They also had water slides that went out the back in tunnels and a smaller play area for little kids.
Here is the little kid part. They loved the water slides!Thanks to my mom, we got a picture of our family! Dylan went down this slide a ton! It was just his size!Ethan even had fun in the little bouncy swings! His feet would bounce in the water!Lauren did everything she could to stay awake! She couldn't miss anything! She would use grandma or grandpa as an excuse to stay awake. She definitely got spoiled while on vacation!We would take turns riding on the big slides. This one was pitch black the entire way! We also rode on the Tornado and the Black Hole. I got a bruise on my bum from the Tornado, but it was awesome! You go into this huge spiral and go all the way up the sides of the tube. The Black Hole was not quite as good and was compared to a toilet bowl, so I'm told. I was too sore to ride that one, but everyone said it was pretty good!
Ethan would just sleep anywhere! He is such a good baby! Especially since his first tooth broke through on Friday! That explains all of the drooling!Dylan being mischievous!Dylan really wanted to do the bumper boats, so grandma gave in and let him ride with dad!He got so tired that he just sat in the chair and fell asleep! Too cute! They had amazing decor in the parks. This one even had bananas growing on the tree!
They also had this really cool indoor playland that was 4 stories high!My mom and I took Dylan and Lauren to play in it! It was really neat! You could shoot balls (soft foam) from the upper stories at people below. It also had all kinds of obstacles to get around. Not made for adults, but the kids had a wonderful time!Dylan was showing his funny face in this one! Going down a slide.After we were done with the water parks, we went on a DUCK tour. It was so awesome! They are very old machines that they used in wars that go on land and water. It was amazing to see the beautiful land and water and to get the opportunity to ride on the Duck. Lauren and Ethan loved it so much that they fell asleep!
We drove through this gorge!And went for a ride on the lake!We had such a wonderful time and this was just the first 2 days! Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon!
