We went to the Wisconsin Dells this weekend to use our coupon books we got from WIFC. (The books has a bunch of places that you can get in for free) Early in the week we were worried about our planned trip because of all the flooding and that Lake Delton completely drained. Luckily we were still able to go. We got there at about noon,checked in to our hotel, and met up with Mom and Dad. Then we decided to go on the Original Wisconsin Ducks. I thought it was pretty interesting and our tour guide was pretty silly so it was cool. After that we met up with Steve and family for a round of Mini-golf at Timber Falls Adventure Park. It was a really nice course and was shaded well which was nice because it was pretty hot outside. After golfing we went back to our hotel for a little while and then were off to dinner. We went to the Ho-Chuck casino for their Saturday Night Buffet. The food was really good, especially their baked apples. After we were all stuffed we went back to the hotel and got ready to go town to the pool area for some swimming. They had a nice kiddie section so Lily was having fun. She also likes to "swim" around the pool (I hold her while she kicks around the pool) After a while, Mom & Dad and Steve and family came by to see us and eventually Becky & family came also. We all had a bunch of fun in all the pools The next morning we went to the Tanger Outlet Mall with Mom & Dad. Didn't go to too many stores but had fun in the Disney Store and at The Children's place of course. Then, Adam, Lily and I went to eat lunch at Moosejaw Pizza & Brewing company. Adam and I shared a Chicken Alfredo pizza which was excellent and Lily had spaghetti. After that we met up with Steve and family at Riverview Park & Waterworld. They had a cute kiddie area there which is where we spent most of our time. We also went in the wavepool for a little while but then the kids wanted to go back the kiddie area. Lily and Johnny had a good time there. Matt & Danny had fun going down lots of waterslides, including taking Lily down some of the slides in the kiddie section. After a while, Lily decided she needed a grandpa brownie (Swiss Cake Roll) and so we stopped at a gas station out of town for snacks and then went home. Lily quickly fell asleep in the car and I took a nap once we got back into town. It was a fun mostly-free weekend! Thanks WIFC. More Photos from our Dells trip on my dotphoto HERE
