The Dells

For my birthday Ryan took us on a vacation to Wisconsin Dells. It's the waterpark captial of WI. We ate at Moose Jaw pizza as recommended.We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge Resort which was rated number one for small kids. And let me tell ya, it lived up to it's rating. They had three indoor waterparks with lots for Addison to do as well as crafts, story time, and other activities. A went down her first water slide and love it, and so did Mom and it only took me 31 years and being 5mo pregnant, she also loved the park that had a structure where water dripped down all the time. She would hold hands with Ryan and run through the water screaming!


Addison loved to watch these animatronic animals.

Waiting in the lobby for the nightly story time. She heard music and felt the need to dance.

Attitude!


These girls were waiting for story time and Addison felt the need to stand in front of them and entertain. The girls loved it.

I was shocked when she stood with the mascot. She is into princesses latley, thanks to kids at school, and said this was a princess "pin-thess wolf".

Here is the clock in the lobby where all the kids gathered everynight for story time in their jammies.

She said all weeked she was a "lil wolf," not a little girl and willingly sported her wolf ears where ever we went. Pretty cute. We had a really great time as a family.

Last weekend the circus was here in Green Bay and we took the opportunity to go. I don't really see them flying elephants out to Oahu for a circus so this may have been our last opportunity for awhile.

We saw the standard elephants, tigers, and acts. But please tell me when did they start doing cirucus in a building and not a tent? It was a different experience for Ryan and I then when we were kids. Our tickets were $18 a piece, the building smelled of hundreds, literally, of people, and animals, and it lasted three hours! But it was all worth it to see Addison have so much fun. She thought all the fancy girls were princesses which she loved!


Uncle Kyle will love this one. This face was the most excited she got all night, and all because of the dirt bike riders doing super man's and jumps.




P.S. To fill those of you who don't know in:


Addison and I will be in Oregon in April


In May Ryan flies out and we'll go visit family in Seattle


Mid-May we move to Oahu, HI.


At the end of July we will be having a baby boy.




PPS Ann, I think this post fulfills all of the requirements, a picture of me, update on our move and baby. Wink!
