As some of you may know, Sean's 40th birthday gift from the girls and I was a family vacation to the Wisconsin Dells. This area is, apparently, world renowned for its waterparks, supposedly home to many of the "world's largest" parks and slides.
We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge which has an indoor and outdoor waterpark for year-round fun (yes, even in the freezing cold winter, the indoor waterpark maintains a warm 85 degree atmosphere). We especially enjoyed the indoor park, as it contains great activities for children 5 and younger with a 0-depth wave pool and several small waterslides plus a water-spout activity area. In addition, indoors means NO SUNBLOCK!!
We did take a break from the waterpark to go on an Original Wisconsin Duck tour. The Ducks were used in WWII and the Korean conflict. They are amphibious - drive on land right into the water. Some of the river scenery pictures are from that tour, as well as another Duck riding by us on the water. Also, Amelya and I took a go-cart ride, and then so did Amelya and Daddy. She loved it, as did we.
We had a wonderful, no stress, family get-away weekend. We plan to go again next year (maybe even in the winter!).
