Three separate, but equal posts (1 of 3)

Alternate Title: Lordsy Mercy! WE MADE IT!

We are home from our super sonic visit to JR's family back in Wisconsin...It took us 15 hours to get there and 17 hours to get back...don't ask me why the trek home took longer, we can't figure it out! It's like we were stuck in a time warp somewhere around Chicago....I have so many pics to share I am going to break it up into three major events...

  1. Our trip to the Wilderness Resort at the Wisconsin Dells
  2. Our visit with Gma Lizzie and Gpa Jack
  3. Packer Family Night at Lambeau Field

The Wilderness Resort is quite a complex and comprehensive resort. We arrived late morning on Wednesday to a place like I've never seen before! The hotel is expansive...inside, you will find rooms, restaurants, a haunted hotel (it was REALLY scary! SERIOUSLY!), gift shops, arcades, game rooms, indoor water parks, a pottery store, and more! It is insane! On the outside, you will find outdoor water parks, a zip line, mini-golf, bungee jumping, and more restaurants...This place seems to have thought of everything!

Here are some pics of the kids and the rest of the Roehl family hanging around...Randi and her cousin Miranda are BFFs...


Sophie started 'talking' on this trip....I think she enjoyed the place so much she just could not contain herself! There was cooing galore, and just look at that smile!


Kaiti got some time in with her cousins as well...


..and Tyler too.


While the 'big' kids got their own room, the little ones had to suffer with us...Good Morning Punks!



...my favorite part of this trip was the family time. There was lots of bonding going on...




...Randi and her cousin Ryan... RANDI + RYAN = TROUBLE! You can see it written all over their little faces...


Uncle Jones had a way with little miss Sophie...when the attention got a bit much for her, he would settle her better than anyone! He's a total baby charmer...like magic.


...and CJ was not starved for love either....these punks have had more attention in the past week than they have in their whole life to date!


Here's the babes soaking up some sun rays and a rare shot of Sophie napping! Those were few and far between!



I wasn't behind the camera the whole trip...I did get to ride a few of the water slides...Randi was very competitive and wanted to race me...having more than 100 lbs on her, I knew it would be a massacre....I beat her good!




...and so did JR!



I thought that would learn her, but nope! She begged for a rematch....again, and again, and again. She eventually won by forfeit....


We played Wednesday afternoon, all day Thursday, and Friday morning before we headed to Gma and Gpa Roehl's house....I'm not sure I could have handled much more....total physical overload!
Happy Trails!
