My Trip to the Dells

My mom and dad took me on a trip to the Wisconsin Dells.

We had a lot of fun. We stayed at a big resort with lots of water parks called The Wilderness. We got to share a room with Uncle Aaron, Aunt Laura and Carter.

Our trip started out bright and early on Thursday morning. Mom and dad packed up all of our gear and we headed out to Uncle Robert and Aunt Princess' house. We met up with Grandma Kathy, Grandpa David, Uncle Aaron, Aunt Laura, Carter and the Ball boys. The boys all got together and nailed down the trip route. Uncle Aaron forgot Carter's stroller and so they had to go back to there house because I sure wasn't riding with him in my stroller for my whole vacation.

We took three cars to the Dells. Mom, Dad and I went in our van, Aunt Laura and Uncle Aaron in their car and the rest in the Balls van. We had so much stuff it looked like we were moving out of our homes. We thought about opening a grocery store with all the food we brought. Mom and dad wanted to open up the back of the van at the first rest area and see what they could sell. We didn't do that but we had plenty of opportunities to. We had to stop several times so I could stretch my legs and so Carter could eat. The scenery on the way to the Dells was interesting. I slept most of the way so I was rested when we got to the Dells. Dad, Uncle Aaron and Uncle Robert had walkie talkies to play with so we could all talk to each other on the trip.

The first night we were in the Dells we went to this funny place called Moo.sejaw Pizza. They had these silly cars with a Moose on top of them. The pizza was pretty good and I slept well because it was noisy.

The next day we played at the water parks a lot. There were lots of fun things to do but I wasn't quite big enough to play in the water. I got a lot of good naps in at the Wilderness. Grandma Kathy and Grandpa David held me lots and played with Carter and I. I had a couple of special visitors on Friday. Mom's friend Rosie and her mom Fran came up to see me and Carter. They got us some really nice gifts and it was fun to play with them. Rosie swam with mom and dad while Fran went to Ho-Chunk to gamble. I hope she won lots of money.

We all did a lot of swimming while we were at the Wilderness. They boys got to play together tons and I think everyone had fun together. I especially enjoyed bedtime when Aunt Laura put on Carter's womb bear. It made nice sounds and even made mom and dad really tired.

Here's a picture of me in my swimming suit and cover-up. Mom didn't want me to get burned on our vacation. I was trying to have a conversation with Carter when someone snapped this picture of me. Our vacation was lots of fun and I hope next year we get to go again so I can actually play in the water.

We left Wisconsin Dells yesterday after a trip through the rest of the city. Mom and Dad want to come back next year and see some of the other things in the area. It's very tourist-y mom said but it looks like we will be able to have lots of fun there in the future.

The ride home was really long and I was sure that we were never going to get home. We had yummy ribs on the way home at Hickory P@rk. I finally arrived home to my bed around ten o'clock I think. I was happy to be home but didn't want to go to sleep. My parents were praying that I would go to bed but every time I would shut my eyes for a few minutes I would wake myself up. Little did they know I was dreaming of the great big water slide that they made mom get on. I was scared for her and every time I went to sleep the thought of it woke me up. I hope next year to go on some of the baby slides.

I can't wait to go again next year!!
