Labor Day Weekend - Friday

We decided to head out of town for Labor Day Weekend to wrap up the summer. All morning as we were packing up, Milo was whining and super clingy. He knew something was going on. We dropped him off at boarding and he was so excited! We left for the Wisconsin Dells around 10:30. We stopped off at lunch at Red Robin (I think in Janesville). We had been to one of these when we went on Spring Break to Tennessee and the kids liked it. When we got back on the road after lunch, it started raining. The traffic was not good, lots of stopping on the highway.

Avery got in a little nap on the way!

We finally made it to our resort! We stayed at the Wilderness Resort in the Glacier Canyon Lodge area. We had a two bedroom two bathroom condo with a kitchen and plenty of room for all of us. :)



We got changed and headed down to the Wild WaterDome indoor waterpark (it was still rainy outside). This one had the big wave pool (apparently, it's the nation's largest indoor wave pool!) By the way, our condo was at the opposite end of the resort, so every time we went somewhere it was at least a 10 minute walk!

The girls and Matt did the Dueling Mammoths water slide and then took on the waves in the pool!




Silly girl!

After that, we walked to the Klondike Kavern indoor waterpark. This one had a lazy river, some body slides and whole kid area with a big bucket that drops 1,000 gallons of water every few minutes and the Hurricane water slide (one of the bigger thrill ones). The Mine Shaft Drop body slides were completely dark all the way down, which proved to be a little claustrophobic for everyone.

Matt and the girls are under there!



Avery went down the baby slide and pretended it was scary - ha!

The girls made a friend in the hot tub named Aubrey. She was from southern Illinois. Since no one else wanted to ride the Hurricane, Morgan and Aubrey went. The Hurricane is one of the "wild" slides at the waterpark.

Morgan loved it!

Here's what it looks like from outside

The girls slept really well! Their room had no windows, was dark and quiet!
