The Wildnerness

In between the kids taking turns being sick, we were able to grab a quick trip to the Wildnerness Resort at Wisconsin Dells. Everyone had a ton of fun and everyone was ready to leave right when we did. It was the perfect little trip- with one minor exception- as soon as we walked in the room, Gavin thought he'd test how sturdy the furniture is and stood up on the table. When I caught him, I surprisingly said "Gavin Michael!" which startled him and caused him to fall and hit his head on the table. Lucky for us the urgent care center was right across the street so while Todd unloaded the suitcases, Gavin had a full neuro exam at the friendly neighborhood ER! He checked out okay and vacation was a go!



We had a fully loaded kitchen so we brought food up with us. We snack on pizza rolls before heading to the first indoor water park. (and we bought our own paper goods- who wants to dishes on vacation?)

This is the tunnel the led us to the waterparks- heated :0)


Todd and Hunter spent a night at Cascade Mountain learning to snowboard. Todd also learned he's getting a little too old to snowboard! Hunter did great though!



While the guys hit the slopes we hit the wave pool. Gav couldn't wait to get going!




Another snack before bed- Lauren was in such a good mood!





One of the few pictures I was able to get with all 3 of them






Our room had a fireplace, fully loaded kitchen, guest bath, master bath, master bedroom, a guestroom with a bunk where Lauren and Gavin slept, and a murphy bed that folded out for Hunter. There's the dreaded table that Gavin learned is plenty sturdy!

This "Wilderness" looks like a great place to get away from it all. I'm so glad to read that Gavin really enjoyed it. We all knew the rest of you would!!!
Glad you're home again.
Love ya, Mom
