Snow, Swim and Theme Park!

Hello....still having problems uploading photos to the blog, so you will have to check facebook for those:)

We just got back from a fun-filled weekend at the Dells....a late Christmas gift!

 We left Friday afternoon and rolled back into Spillville around 3 pm with three very tired and cranky kids....and parents.....all in the name of fun!  Randy's been battling some type of flu since Thursday, and we made a quick trip to the clinic on Friday just to be sure Eryn wasn't getting strep again before hitting the road to Wisconsin.

Saturday morning we dressed up warm and headed to Christmas Mountain for snow tubing!  The two older kids and Randy had fun with this two years ago, and since Derek was too little at the time he and I stayed back.  This year, though he was ready for some fun!  We went up and down countless times, and even walked up the hills a time or two..what a workout!

After lunch it was time to hit the waterpark, and the kids had a blast!!  Derek was content to go down the same slides over and over while the other kids wanted to do the waterslides.  I had a good time but was dead tired by the end of the day!  Later in the afternoon Derek and Randy napped and the other kids and I hit the outlet mall.  We returned for supper then went to the waterpark again before hitting the beds for the night.

This morning we checked out other things the Dells has to offer and went to the indoor amusement park before heading home.  It's been a GrEaT weekend, and I am happy to have Monday for us to recoop before going back to work and school Tuesday!  We've got some fun projects planned, like baking for Cabin Fever and Valentine Boxes.  And besides it's going to be FREEZING cold so might as well stay in where it's warm!
