Water Fun!

This weekend was a lot of wet, water fun for our family. Wisconsin is known as the Waterpark Capital of the World (well, Wisconsin Dells is anyway) and we took advantage of one of those waterparks! The one we went to wasn't at the Dells, but it was still a blast. Our family, plus my parents, sister, aunt and her family went for the weekend to celebrate my mom and aunt's birthdays (Happy Birthday Mom and Di!) We rented a villa that was great-2 bedrooms, a loft, a full kitchen, laundry facility, living & dining rooms, 2 bathrooms-it's nicer than some homes I've been in! We played games, watched movies, ate lots of yummy food, and oh yeah-went to the waterpark!

The park itself has a children's area that had 2 curvy waterslides, 4 straight waterslides, various water spouts and shooters, swings, 2 toddler slides, a zero-entry pool, etc. This is where we spent a lot of time, obviously. The rest of the park has a pool, water basketball, water balloon fight area, indoor/outdoor hot-tub (it was neat to sit in the outdoor hot tub while it was snowing) lazy river, wave pool, 2 tube slides and 2 body slides (all 4 of which were enclosed and went outside for spacial reasons) The lodge also has a game room, restaurant, snack bar, and tons of activities planned. There are also activities in the summer, though we haven't been there that time of year. Anyway, if anyone is looking for a lot of fun and a great place to stay (they also have rooms in the lodge besides the villas) here is the link.

So without further ado, here are some pics and videos from the weekend!

Daddy and Mikayla are taking everything in a bit before they go in the water

This was Mikayla's favorite thing at the waterpark-a spout to play in!

The kiddie waterslides, which Lilly would do over and over and over again.



Mikayla and Mommy on the lazy river. She would almost fall asleep, then someone would bump into us or talk too close to us and she'd have to check it all out.


The park is based on Yogi-Bear, so in the kiddie pool area there was a picnic basket that would fill with water and then dump every 15 mins or so. Alayna is in the pink suit...




Mikayla's first waterslide, followed by Lilly's 1 millionth

How fun! I've never been to an indoor water park before! We drove past a bunch in WI though when we used to make the drive from MI to MN way back when.

Looks like a blast!

Ok, my boys are sooo jealous! Jack made me watch the videos at least 4 times each. He actually laughed out loud the first time we watched Mikayla with the little spout of water. Sooo Neat!!
