The Dells

Spent last Sunday thru Wednesday at The Wilderness Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells. Our condo was a nice upgrade (space-wise) from last year's trip and it gave the kids room to roam. Despite some service issues that irritated the adults, the kids loved it and had a blast. We spent most of our time at the wave pool park which also had a little kids area. We packed our lunches and pretty much spend most of the day at the park. Hailey loved riding the big waves in the wave pool and she was once again the only kid brave enough to tackle a tube ride called the Dueling Mammoths. She was scared on the first ride down but was ready to go again and again after that.
Thursday was back to reality. Both Chad and Hailey are not feeling well. Hailey has been running a fever since Thursday night. Took her to the doctor this morning but no strep or ear infection so we will just have to tough it out. Chad was supposed to go to San Diego next Tuesday thru Friday but his trip got cancelled. While I know he was looking forward to the trip, I am not sad about missing 4 day alone with the kids.

Not much else happening here. I will mention that Jack is picking up a bunch of new words lately but no sentences yet. When he says his words, they are pretty clear so based off of that, I am attributing his lack of speaking with general stubbornness. As Katie and Danielle can attest to, Jack even has a stubborn look too - a furrowed brow and pursed lips. It's cute and funny at the same time.
