As the Chicago winter continues on and on and on, we decided to have a winter vacation and surprise the kids with a trip to the Wisconsin Dells- a town full of indoor water parks. It is the Chicago thing to do in the winter.
We packed the car the night before, and told the kids the next morning we were going on a picnic. Jaden said to Jill as we got in the car, we are going to a waterpark. Mike and I looked at each other surprised and wondered how he knew. We still said we were just going on a picnic. He said.. why is the swimming stuff in the back then? Oops, I guess we did not pack good enough. He's too smart for us now. We told him OK we are going to a hotel with a simming pool. He then said, does it have a slid? Are we going to the Wisconsin Dells. Well the gig is up. We still did not give any details.
We stayed at the Chula Vista Hotel that had a Mayan themed water park. It was so much fun! I of course had as much fun as the kids or more. We enjoyed two full days at the park and all was well and happy. Tate slept, ate and played a little in the water. Tyler went under the water at least four times, but all was well. Jaden was fearless and went on all the slides that were at least 70 feet tall. Jill couldn't get enough of swimming and got a few slides in. We all had a great vacation.
My friend Karrie King and her family were at the Dells also, so we met for Pizza. It was a great break from the snow.
Enjoy the show......

How FUN! What a nice little get-a-way... You look amazing! What a darling little family. Sure miss you guys.
So fun, I am definitely going to have to tell Kris about this place. How far is it?
I will be out in Chicago April 8-13. My sister will have had her baby.
That looks so so fun! What a fun place! I feel so ready for winter to end- that would be so fun to get to go to an indoor water park- I wish we had one here like that- maybe we'll have to visit:)
Fun! We like to go to a similar place in the Pennsylvania called the Great Wolf Logde. Our family loves it! I am so glad you had such a great time!
We haven't done the Dells yet- though we drove through on our last trip to florida. We're hoping to go next year, but it is a huge tradition here in MN as well. (Maybe we can meet up there next year?) And for the friend talking about the Great Wolf lodge, there is one in the Dells as well. :) Stay warm and hopefully snow free- we got 6 inches today with more on the way...
That sounds like Cora, we can't get much past her.
