Spring Break!

We love Spring Break at our house! We try to do something fun, and if possible get away for a few days with just the fam! This year we re-visited last year's destination, simply because it was so much fun! So off to Chula Vista in Wisconsin Dells we went...

We did a TON of swimming...

I am not sure you could get a happier smile on this boy's face! He was, by far, the biggest fan of the waterslides. Everyone else would be done and tired, and Sam would just keep going! I am not sure he would ever tire of waterslides...

This slide, I affectionately call the Wedgie-nator. Sam adored this slide and begged me to go on it with him. I went on it once, but one wedgie was plenty for me. Here is Steve's descent...

One of our favorite slides was this triple "Racing" slide. Three people can go at a time and the goal is to be the first one across the finish line. The boys always required a head start when Steve or I would join them. Here are some "photo-finishes" from one of the races...

Another thing the kids enjoyed were the "Lily-pads" I lost count of how many times they went across these...

We also did a little Mini-golf. The course wasn't too thrilling, but it was pretty amazing that it was nice enough outside to do it...

Carter REALLY enjoyed this activity, seeing as it involved a ball and all...

And then back to more swimming!

And, at the end of the day, it was no surprise to find five very tired children...

Looks like lots of fun. Remember one a few years ago that was a lot of fun. Apparently you didn't get snowed in this time.

That looks like a lot of fun! I need to find a water park like that here. I think there might be a some a few hours away. That looks like a fun Spring Break activity!
