Wisconsin Dells Trip

We took the kids to Wisconsin Dells this week for a quick impromptu family vacation.  Derek is leaving on Sunday for a month and we wanted some alone family time!  The Dells are about 5 hours away and its basically about 40 or so hotels with water parks inside them (and some free standing ones!).  We stayed at the Wilderness Hotel and Resort http://www.wildernessresort.com/ and it was amazing!  I can't wait to go back in a few months.

Evie loved every single second of it.  She was a little scared at first and wanted either Derek or myself to go down the slides with her.  Once she did them a few times, she was all over it, doing it on her own.  There were several raft/tube rides we rode with her and they were completely in the dark.  She loved those just as much and was asking to ride them over and over again!

Ollie, well, that was another story. This kid loves everything about being in the water at home. I assumed he would love the water.  Yea, not so much!  He didn't want to go anywhere near the water.  I think it was a little overwhelming (it was a little crowded the first day) and loud.  The water was cold (for us it was) and he would cling to us, terrified.  The second day, he decided it wasn't so bad and played in the water for about two hours or so off and on!
