We are home!

We had such a great time at the indoor waterpark. We drove to the Western side of Wisconsin (about a 3 hour drive). It is so pretty on that side! It seems more mountainous in a way with lots of evergreen trees. Since it is less populated it seems cleaner too.
The Resort was great. Our cabin was so nice! It had 2 bedrooms with Queen beds, 2 bathrooms, a loft, livingroom/diningroom and full kitchen and washer/dryer. Quite a nice way to travel having all the comforts of home right there and a indoor waterpark right nearby.


On Friday we got there at about 4:30ish, my Mom and Dad arrived at about 5ish?? By the time we had everything in and set-up I gave N&C a little dinner (which they weren't very hungry for) and we headed down to the water. The water was cool actually so before long N&C had blue lips and were shivering. Nicholas was very cautious in the water, but Celia even floated on her back with her life jacket on (of course Jason was right there). We ended up going in the hot tub to warm up and that was Nicholas' favorite thing to do.

Friday night all 4 of us slept in the loft (Grandma & Grandpa took a bedroom) because we couldn't fit the peapods in the bedrooms. Celia was crying so often at night, but at 2am I gave her some Motrin and it helped for the rest of the night. I was surprised she cried because she was the one that did so well in the peapods at home, so it must've been her teeth and the combination of a new place.

Saturday we got up at about 7:30, ate breakfast (homemade egg/bacon/cheese english muffins for the adults! yum!). We moved the Queen bed to the wall in one of the bedrooms to make room for the peapods, so for Sat and Sun they had a quiet room vs the loft with no doors. Had a nice morning and by 9am N&C were ready for a nap. They napped nicely- Celia woke up before Nicholas so she was playing with us.
Here she is looking so cute! My Mom bought her her first hairclips :).

My parents had some friends from the area pop in - so we visited with them and their granddaughter, ate lunch and then headed down to the water. The water was much warmer now so it was more enjoyable. Celia loved the toddler waterslides and went down over 10 times. Nicholas was so fearful.

Here is Grandma with Nicholas - don't you LOVE toddler tummies!

This is video of Celia (true to her 'Adventure Girl' name) and Jason (she giggles the whole time down) and then of me and Nicholas. He had a deathgrip on me and then of course he got splashed in the face and a kid hit us hard in the back! Poor Nicholas!




They did so well (but Nicholas still loves the hot tub) ha ha
We went back to the cabin and they napped. Had a quick snack and went back to the water. This second time they were less thrilled. I think they had had their fill by now, but we adults still tried to entertain them. :) we went on the Lazy River a couple times.
Celia was getting fussy at the end:

We dressed to leave at about 6:15pm (Grandpa stayed back at the cabin to put the lasagna Grandma made in the oven and make garlic bread and salad for dinner). On the way out N&C walked the ENTIRE way up this lonnnnngggggg hallway!

We had a yummy dinner together. Then I took N&C to take a bath to wash off chlorine and get calmed for bed. Nicholas thought the bathtub was a toilet and pooped a LOT in it in about 1 second (no time to transfer him to the real toilet). Jason had to get him out while I fished for poo, drained and washed the tub so I could refill it and finish his bath. Then washed up Celia. They had their bottles and were in such good moods they played until 8:30pm (that never happens! They are usually always in bed by 7:30 latest). Celia slept much better Saturday night (gave her motrin this time). Celia and Nicholas were in their peapods on the floor of the bedroom and Jason and I in the Queen bed.

We got up at 7:00am, had breakfast. Then at 9:00 N&C had a nap until about 10:30am. We packed up while they were sleeping since check-out was at 11:00. So they got up, changed their diapers and hopped in the cars.
Nicholas telling us it was time to go!

We stopped at a Culvers for lunch (I had made and cut up a PB&J at the cabin) . They ate their PB&J and yogurt and then they napped the rest of the way home. They are now in bed at 6:45pm. It was a great time!
