We took our first-ever trip to Wisconsin Dells a couple weeks ago.
And the best part about the whole thing is we didn't have to pay for anything!
Luke went for continuing education for work
& the rest of us tagged along!
We are so lucky.
We stayed at Wilderness Territory Glacier Canyon Lodge.
It was SPECTACULAR to say to least.
It was a 2-bedroom apartment with the works.
The works meaning...dishwasher, 2 bathrooms, living room w/fireplace,
full kitchen, bunk beds, master bedroom (and more).
It took us 4 hours to get to the Dells (all interstate)
& when we arrived we got to check in early & get our swimsuits on.
Here we are in all our glory running through the skyway to get to the first of many waterparks.
In the skyway we looked down to see horse-drawn wagon rides.
(which we learned later that they were FREE!)
Here's how Vance rolled around.
The double stroller came in handy & we all got a good workout to & from the parks.
The boys were so excited to have their own big bed
& Kylie (their older cousin came along to help with the boys & she got the top bunk).
This is how they ended up....exhausted after the first day!
Our living area was so nice.
We loved every minute!
The Dells had tons of stuff to do for whole family.
Now that we've been there, we will probably go every year.
It was just amazing.
BIG BIG BIG play areas for the kids to run around & burn off some energy
& they took full use of it!
High ropes where you get harnessed up & you balance across ropes high in the air.
It was so darn funny. Kylie was afraid of heights, but we made her do it anyway.
That is, until she hugged a pole & wouldn't move & the guide person had to come rescue her!!!
Here's Kylie making a great attempt to overcome her fear of heights.
Kylie & I rope walking.
Then Adler wanted to try it (I couldn't believe it)
& he did a great job with dad.
He's like 30 ft in the air!
Relaxing poolside with my little bud.
We also made sure to attend as many kid freebie events as possible.
One afternoon we ventured into playing bingo in the Kids Zone.
And we all won! I even won the grand prize (a Wild Pass!).
p.s. we loved having Kylie along. She's absolutely the sweetest niece & the boys adore her.
We heard about this restaurant, Buffalo Phil's, that brings your food out on a train.
We knew the boys would love it so we had to go.
And did they ever love it!
While we waited for our food to arrive via train,
the staff would put toys & bubbles & fun little things on the train to keep the boys busy.
Best invention I've seen in a restaurant.
Buffalo Phil's is conveniently attached to the largest arcade.
And if you eat at Phil's you get a free family train ride.
We couldn't resist!
The boys found Woody & needed a picture.
I went on a ride with Adler, thinking the 'Tornado' would be fun.
Then I felt sick!
The boys walked away from vacation with
a lot of fun memories with their cousin Kylie,
a lot of candy from the Gum Drop store,
& a pop gun (their prize possession).
They are quite excited to get those bullets loaded & shoot some bears in the woods at home!
Right before we left we took part in the ducky races & the boys won duck calls!
What a happy vacation. We'll be back Wisconsin Dells!
Except next time we're going to stay in the Wyndham Presidential Suites (which are even more amazing!)
