Some Wisconsin vacation pics

We all just got back from seeing Jim's brother Mark and family in WI. What a wonderful, funfilled and completely relaxing vacation! Luke is in love with his cousins Jill(16) and Rachel(13), while Mark is in love with him.
Luke will tell you about all his "firsts"...1st plane ride, 1st baseball game and 1st waterpark.
The 1st night we tailgated then saw the Brewers play baseball. Awesome. Then the week went on with no real itinerary(how we like it)and lots of quality family time. We went in the state capital building last minute one day, played voleyball at local park, swam, saw Harry Potter on rain day, chilled, drank, roasted marshmellows, slept in...so nice.

But big event was Looking forward to the WI Dells....biggest water parks in country!

Mark booked us a room at the Chula Vista, and that allowed for 2 days at the water park...HUGE slides outside and more indoor. Boys were floored, we all were. And Luke was fearless....


This is a wave pool we discovered behind the hotel.

Luke told Jill she was his new best friend. What a great girl she is.

Hotel room so luxurious...kids loved the hotub. Why do I look pregnant here?!!

Andrew and Rachel and Will would go off on own forever doing their thing, or take Luke from us adults for awhile. But we all wanted to be with him since he's so awestruck!

Willie, once getting over fear of this huge yellow slide, tried to make a record going down it like 33 times in a row...pooped

Couldn't get luke off red slide though. Would pick a different person to race, mostly Auntie Sharon or me, and trust me when I say the Dads had just as much fun as the rest of us.

At Madison airport, ready to go home again
