wisconsin dells

this past weekend we drove up to wisconsin dells with some friends to play at the water park capital of the world. and who would have thought that the water park capital would be in wisconsin? not i.

we have been wanting to plan a little trip up the dells for a while and jumped at the chance once school was out. we did a lot of research trying to find the best and cheapest place to stay, but we were a little overwhelmed by the number of resorts available. i ended up getting an email from one the resorts about a little deal they were having, and we grabbed it. it turned out to be a great place for katelyn to play.

as soon as we got to our hotel we put our suits on and headed outside. katelyn was so excited she could barely contain herself. so we thought she was going to jump in and love it. but that wasn't the case. she wanted to ease her way into the water and did not want any of it getting in her face. it's funny because we used to call her our "little fishie" because she loved having water all over her. not anymore. luckily her little friend, eliza, was the same way.

we didn't spend much time outside because the water was still pretty chilly for this time of year. plus, it rained all of saturday. our resort also had an indoor water park, so we spent the rest of our time inside.
katelyn stayed on the outskirts of the kiddie area where it was safe from the spraying water.

and wouldn't you know, she wanted to spend a lot of her time going up and down the stairs.

and of course the hot tub was a huge hit. she spent a lot of time with daddy in the warm water.

we had a great time hanging out as a family and hanging out with our friends. after spending all of the time we wanted to at the resort, we packed up and headed out to eat, then drove over the outlet malls to walk around and do some shopping. thanks for going with us odells and nances!
