The Dells

In the past, between Christmas and New Year we have gone up north snowmobiling with family. Well - this year the snow conditions in the north were next to nothing and we have just a tad bit going on on the home front - so we decided to stick closer to home. We did take one night away though as a family and headed to the Dells. It was a great time! Brian found out about this place called Meadowbrook Resort - it is PERFECT for little kids - I'd say about 5 and under. Our kiddos had a blast.

This is the indoor water area. A couple LITTLE slides, some water fountains and not even 2 ft deep water.

Our fishes loved it :)

Grant swimming under water

Landon even enjoyed hanging out

Alayna was in and out a lot

Grant was just a complete fish

SUPER FUN! The day we arrived we had the pool area to ourselves the whole time we were down there. It was GREAT!

Then at night, they start a bonfire out in the front yard and you can go out and enjoy the fire, roast hot dogs and/or marshmallows and make s'mores.

We did the s'mores thing.

mmmmmm. Then after s'mores they showed a movie in the lobby and gave everyone popcorn. The movie that night was Cars 2 - so fun! We don't have a picture of our room, but where the kids slept it was 3/4 walled off to be like a little wood cabin of their own...fun for them!

On the way home we stopped at a restaurant...I forget the name...where your food was delivered to you via train.

Here comes the train

And this Christmas tree just goes to show that a tree with a double top does look really pretty. Briana's tree up north has about 3 tops (the way it looks anyway) and we are pretty sure it's never going to be the more beautiful tree in the forest :) We love it anyway though - it sure is beautiful to me :)
