Our family time in the Dells came to end way too quickly for two little girls who sobbed in the car the morning we left. I really struggled while we were there and by the second day was a puking, crying mess who could barely stand up and walk around.  I felt awful but Jason held his own with watersliding, kid wrangling, and taking care of all of us.  I think the car ride did me in and made my constant motion sickness worse.  The humid, loud, and crazy indoor water park was not the best place for and HG mama either but I'm still so glad we got to go and spend time as a family.

When the girls saw the pool they immediately stripped down. Never mind we did not have their swimming suits yet.  They were happy to wait poolside in their chupis for them to arrive.It was that exciting y'all!

they love their Papa.

small girl. ridiculously big water park.



Umm, I love this picture something crazy.

we were good little tourists and hit one of many fudge shops in town.

a highlight was Star Wars (The Empire Strikes Back) movie night.  Family snuggles, pizza, and a timeless classic.  Evy and I fell asleep but Annikah was enthralled and Jason said her face was priceless when she discovered that Luke was Vader's son.  I don't know who was more excited J or Anni.

And on the drive home we stopped to eat (ok, mostly because I was so nauseous I was about to cry) and of course we had to take a picture with the bizarre, huge cow with scary utters. Because that is what you do on vacation. Obviously.
