This year we headed to Wisconsin Dells to celebrate Christmas with Shea's family. We stayed at the Wilderness on the Lake in a 3 bedroom (2 bedroom and a loft) condo. Not only did we get to spend time with family and enjoy the water parks, we also got to watch Breally Kate play basketball too. Her team played in a tournament in the Dells on the same weekend, so it worked out well for her to play and stay with us. The game we watched Breally scored 6 key points towards the end of the game to help her team come from behind to win. Larkyn enjoyed watching the game, though didn't sit still for long.
Later that morning we took a shuttle to Klondike Kavern, one of the five water parks at the resort. It only took a short time before Larkyn was drenching herself in fountains of water. We enjoyed watching Shea, Cayden, Diesel, and Jared go down the Hurricane, the Dells’ tallest indoor 4-person, family raft ride which plummets 58 feet before dropping thrill-seekers into a funnel where they spin around and then splash into a landing pool below. We also enjoyed the lazy river. Larkyn was quite relaxed on Shea. Might have had something to do with the 4 hours of sleep she got the night before.
We went back for lunch and nap time. Then it was back to the water parks. We went downstairs to Cubby's Cove for more fun. This water park was more little kid friendly so Larkyn was able to go down all of the slides (with us) and play in the pool without getting trampled.
Diesel also enjoyed going down the slides and crossing the net. London and Dakota even got a little water action with Mandy and Jared. London seemed to like it more than Dakota!
We went back for dinner and got Larkyn ready for bed. They surprised me with cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday! After Larkyn went to bed, we went back for more. Well...I went to take pictures and watch, while Shea, May May, Breally, Cayden, Charlie, Jared and Diesel rode the waves at the Wild West. They did the bumper boats and multiple tube slides as we shut down the water parks. Thanks to Janny for staying back with Larkyn so we could stay out a bit later with the "big kids".
We had a great weekend and Larkyn loved seeing all of her cousins. We finished our weekend by traveling to see Grandpa Art just outside of the Dells. Breally and Cayden kept Larkyn awake by reading her story after story as we drove there.
By the end of the weekend our little lady was wiped out!
