Annual Dells Trip I

We survived our first year at the Dells with the Eids!! (and hopefully many more to come) I say survived because of course nothing ever goes the way you hope it to. A couple days before we were supposed to leave, Mikayla came down with croup. She appeared to be better. And then Monday morning, the day we were leaving, Sienna started to get really stuffy. Doh!! I won't go on but lets just say Mikayla wasn't better and had a really rough night Monday, which kept her out of the water parks the rest of the time we were there. Sienna's cold continued to get worse and she had a rough night on Tuesday.

We still found plenty of time to play in the water park. Sienna was a little scared the first time in there. It was really loud and lots to look at! She warmed up to it.

Day 1: Mikayla and Sienna checking out the water


Day 2: We headed over to the wave pool. Sienna tried out her floaty and loved it!


She also tried out a few slides with Daddy


Amanda, Izzy, and Sami met us for the day on Tuesday.


Taking a break from the water parks to check out the kiddy climbing gym.


A lot of our time was spent enjoying the lazy river. Sienna was on my lap and Justin in his own tube so he could keep us away from all the water falls. Mallory (and maybe Brent) had the most fun of all. She was game for just about every slide out there. Come Wednesday we'd all had a lot of fun but were ready to go. We skipped the water parks and headed on home. 2011 Dells = success!
