Wet 'n Wild Weekend

We packed up the car and met the whole family in the Dells this weekend for a little midwestern winter getaway.

It was so much fun to have a mini-vacation with everyone, in a new place, with new things to do, and to see Finn interact with all of the fun things there was to do. He got a little spooked by this giant buckets that unleashed hundreds of gallons of water crashing to the ground, so from there on out he needed his 'b-ball' for a water-friendly security blanket. Luckily, Grandpa was on the job to steal a ball from the big swimming pool for Finn to drag around.

In an effort to thwart further procrastination attempts on my part (I am working on a speech and a paper)...consider this a photo-journal blog post...


















It was such a fun weekend, and reminiscent of the goold old Midway Motor-lodge days with the Ekern crew. We even got Mom to go on the waterslides with the 'big kids'..NICE!! Dad kept himself busy in the mornings with lots of Wall Street Journals, and the boys snuck out Saturday night to go to a movie.
I definitely look forward to these sorts of trips for years to come with the fam!

Glad the snow didn't slow anyone down. Good thing Reid still has some skullduggerous ways to have scored the b-ball. Now Greta make like the criminal Martha Stewart, peel the bark from a birch tree and make your paper.
