Wisconsin

Well it's been a while!  Our desktop computer has been dying a slow death and this summer was just so jam packed full of fun that I never got around to blogging about any of it.  Since I see this as a memory book for the boys, I didn't want to just skip all the fun.  So here goes - a whole bunch of summer catch up posts.

First up was our trip to Wisconsin.  We considered a trip to The Dells over spring break, but it was crazy expensive.  A friend shared that the prices are best the week after memorial day so we took advantage and headed up to stay at The Wilderness water park. 

Our balcony looked out over one of the waterparks.  I sent this picture to Nonna and she thought it was fake, but nope it really was that pretty!



 The weather was unseasonably warm, so we were able to enjoy the outdoor and indoor parks.  The boys LOVED it!

 The resort also had lots of fun activities for the boys. . . arcade games, glow in the dark minigolf, go karts, and laser tag. 






We spent most of our time at the resort, but did head out to see a few things around town.



 As always, Brian has an uncanny ability to find really fun, off the beaten path activities for us.  This little petting zoo was super fun!  There were lots of animals to pet and feed.  All three boys loved feeding the goats.


These water pumps were also a huge hit.  William and Jack could have pumped water for hours!

 I hope that William continues to make this face when he tried hard at something.  I just love it!

We also took a relaxing boat ride through the upper dells.  The boat we road on was over 100 years old - and I was a nervous wreck - but it was wonderful!

 We stopped at two locations to explore.  The witch's gultch was my favorite!  The surroundings were just beautiful!  Everywhere you looked there were lush ferns and greenery.  It had an almost magical feel to it and I wish we could have stayed there longer. 


 My pictures do not do it justice at all!  Jack wasn't it a picture taking mood, so we did our best. 

The Wisconsin trip was a great one.  The boys were worn out at the end of each day and we were all able to take a much needed break.  It was pretty much perfect - I mean look at that sunset!!
