Spring Break


We had a great spring break! My mom and Aunt Barbie flew into visit from CO, and we all took a family road trip up to the Wisconsin Dells. We stayed in a condo at one of the many giant indoor water parks in the area. The only way I can describe the place is as a Las Vegas for kids. It was completely insane; at our resort alone there were 4 indoor water parks (and I don't even know how many outdoor ones, b/c they aren't open yet,) a giant indoor ropes course, 2 putt-putts, a huge indoor play area/slide center, etc. It was nuts, and a PERFECT place for a 4 year old boy. We had a wonderful time playing at the water parks with Alec, who of course loved every minute of the huge slides, and it was wonderful to have my mom and aunt there to help us with Charlie, who also had fun splashing around. We were only there 2 nights, but could have easily been entertained for a least a week. We will definitely be taking a trip back with the boys this summer. On the trip home we stopped in Madison and checked out the town and campus, and then we spent the rest of he week relaxing, eating, and playing lot of dominoes. Charlie also made major strides while they were here, which include learning to sign more and taking his first steps! I didn't have time to take many pics, but here are a few.

Lots of crazy hotel bed fun, Charlie discovered the art of butt bouncing


Alec loved taking Charlie down one of the little slides


Wisconsin is beautiful, and the area around our condo was super green and wooded

What Charlie thinks of brats

So cute - Charlie stood at the table the entire meal and completely entertained us all:)

I only wish the picture of Charlie chowing down on brats did justice to how much fun he was having with that meal. Not even close.
I love the waterslide pictures of both boys. Really cute.
If was great fun and I miss you all terribly. Let's go back!
