ROAD TRIP!!! Mama and I went on a small road trip with our friends, Kristen, Aidan and Zachary Blotz. We drove north to the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells.

After we checked in to our hotel room, we stripped to our swimsuits and ran towards the waterpark— hurry up, Mama & Kristen!!!

Check out this awesome elevator…we can watch the floors go by!

pic 1
Holy Cow…I think we’ve hit the MOTHERLOAD!!!

pic 1
Okay…I think the shock has worn off…let’s go down the lazy river!

pic 1
Now it’s time for a boat ride…Mama isn’t so sure about this, but I’m ready to go!

pic 1
You did it, Mama! It was great!

pic 1
I got to go down again with Kristen too!

pic 1
We’re giving Mama quite the work out!

pic 1
I think I’m going to splash her with this basketball…

pic 1
Uh-oh she’s going to get us back…

pic 1
splash!!!

pic 1
We decided to warm up a bit in one of the many hot tubs. There were lots of bubbles floating around…

pic 1
the Blotzs got bubble-fied!

pic 1
After playing for over 3 hours we went back to the hotel room to take a break and eat some food! (Thank you again to Kristen…as Mama left all of our food neatly packed in our refrigerator!!)

pic 1
Whoa…dude…check out those waves, man!

pic 1
Ready for round 2…we took turns pretending to be sharks. Look…an unsuspecting foot…yum!

pic 1
This is the wave pool…it was AWESOME. There was a buzzer that would sound and then the waves would start rolling in one right after the other. It took some practice, but after some time I became a very good seawall. Check this out…

pic 1
Here it comes…

pic 1
oh boy…it’s a big one!

pic 1
SPLASH!!

pic 1
It was Mama’s turn to get splashed again…1-2-3…

pic 1
jump…SPLASH!!! I think we got you wet too…didn’t we??

pic 1
After a couple of more hours…we’d had enough and returned to the hot tub one last time. Thank you to the Blotzs for taking us with you…we had a wonderful time! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Winter Holiday Balloonanza!

I see small people!

pic 1
We received even more snow this past week…and it’s been really friggin’ cold…but up here in WI that only means one thing…LET’S GO SLEDDING!!!

pic 1
This year it took no time at all to warm up to the big Foxman sledding hill. In fact, I said I wanted to go even faster!

pic 1
Kyle tried some of his new tricks out too…he is definitely a pro!

pic 1
Eric and Heather had a great run too…

pic 1
although I think something may have happened mid-hill…Eric arose with reindeer antlers!!

pic 1
Speaking of Reindeer antlers…I received some balloon antlers at a santa pajama party at our mall!

pic 1
For all of you newbie parents out there…take note…this is the best it’s going to get in terms of “trying to take a photo of your kid with Santa!”

pic 1
Katie and her family met us there too…I think these too Libras drank from the same cup!

pic 1
pic 1
Who knew…that the best remedy for waiting in a long line…is to make your funniest face, ever!

pic 1
It was certainly all worth the wait!

pic 1
We also saw Ronald McDonald while we were there. We thought he looked kinda funny…

pic 1
and apparently he felt the same way about us!

pic 1
Once the long lines were over we were finally able to enjoy our balloon creations…

pic 1
and create a little balloonmania…

pic 1
ahhh…the candy canes are making my antlers sticky!! Where is PETA when you need them??? I hope you all had a great weekend. We’ll see you next time!
