WI Dells

Nick had reserved us a three bedroom condo in the Dells. Something as simple as a three bedroom condo can turn a skeptical weekend into a perfect weekend. It was the perfect space for our families.  There was plenty of space to run and play and just hang out.  We needed that space b/c our kids can't hang at a waterpark for much more than an hour.  

We played duck duck goose.  It's kind of a weak circle but they were entertained. 

All the cousins. Big Willie is so happy he gets to hold his sister. Miss M doesn't look ticked but when I looked at all the pictures I took this was the only one where she doesn't look ticked that she didn't get to hold her sister.

Same problem - different day.
Miss M is pumped she gets to hold her sister and Big Willie is not so pumped.

 The kids just standing on the ledge. E looks so big compared to the rest of them.

 He loves her.  Her thoughts are still to be determined.

 Big Willie and Nick were friends. He let Nick hold him and carry him around. He even sat on his lap and played while he downed some milk.

 They look pretty comfy together.

 Andrew got to be the horse to all the children. And Nick.

We went to the arcade one evening. The hotel has an underground walkway so all the rooms can get to the waterpark without going outside. There are conveniently placed video games all through the hallways leading up to the arcade/pool area. The kids wanted to touch and play every single game each time we walked the hallway so we agreed to let them play one night.  I think the big kids had as much fun as anyone.

Before we left (made a mad-dash break to the car b/c kids were melting at epic rates) E finished feeding Miss Cate her bottle and then posed for a picture.  I would say she's a bit more comfortable/happy with E than when Big Willie manhandles her.
