A First for Our Family

Our family went on our very first vacation.  We headed to the Kalahari Waterpark Resort at Wisconsin Dells last Friday.  It was the first time we have EVER been gone overnight with DH and both sons.  Everyone went--so we had 6 adults and 5 grandkids.  We all had a fantastic time.  I even went on some of the waterslides!  I helped Katie a lot of the time with Jessica and Tatum. 

 
Todd and Cole had a great time making baskets.
 Tatum and Chad were able to make some baskets also while Todd and Cole waited their turn.


                                               None of the kids had any fear of the water!
What else do you eat after filling up on pancakes other than Cheetos and licorice!  Our suite had three bedrooms, a complete kitchen with dining area, living room with a fireplace.  We took groceries to prepare all of our meals.

 
 
 Five tired grandkids slept most of the four hour trip home on Sunday afternoon.  It was expensive, but we all made memories that will last for years.

So glad you could enjoy a vacation all together. It's so hard to get away from the farm. It looks like you had a wonderful time. Love all the smiles, especially on those little faces.

I am so pleased you all had a wonderful holiday together. I just love the photo of the sleeping baby.

You made great memories, didn't you? Our family did that for a week last summer at a resort in the Ozarks. We have good memories of time spent with our two kids, their spouses and our four grandies. What a fun time.

Looks like lots of fun was had by all, and memories to cherish.
