Fun in the Dells




We decided to take a quick trip to the Wisconsin Dells with some good friends of ours. A fun,before school starts,end of summer last hurrah.We decide to stay at the Kalahari(my favorite) We thought we were smart cookies planning it in August because August is usually the warmest month of the year.Um, not this summer! Friday we arrived and it was cool and overcast.Thank goodness there is plenty to do indoors.The kids swam in the lazy river, the wave pool, and explored the slides in the indoor park. Saturday morning we woke up to a beautiful sunny, if a bit cool day. The guys went golfing and we took the kids to swim. They enjoyed hanging out in the play zone. Something about boys and waterguns and dumping water buckets on people.We enjoyed it because all four kids were contained in one place! I must say...it is a lot easier than when we took the the kids to the Dells three years ago(Quinn was only 2!!) No swim diapers or hanging out in the baby areas.They are perfect ages and heights for all the rides.Tanya and I were actually able to visit some while they played. By the time the dad's returned, it had warmed up enough to go to the outdoor park. We hung out there for awhile(the lazy river was ice cold!!)but the slides were fun.That afternoon we took the the kids to the giant HEATED pool right outside our condo. We went to a fantastic steakhouse and then took the kids to the Kalahari's indoor fun center. They had laser tag, a ferris wheel, indoor go karts, and lot's of arcade games.We didn't do everything though;we promised the kids we'll take them back this winter.

Oh my goodness...I can't imagine that being cold. What a bummer!! Still sounds like you all had a great time and the Kalahari looks fun (we have not stayed at that one yet)!

As the summer unwinds, it is fun to squeeze all that last minute good times in!!!
