my husband the vacation king!!!

If I haven't mentioned it before I love my husband for his ability to plan some really great family vacations for really cheap prices!! Dave really values taking vacation each year in some way or shape or form. I also really love it and always look forward to this week. Once we had Jaxon, Dave wanted to start this tradition for our kids to always look forward to and for us to get away from "life" for uninterrupted family togetherness. It is always a wonderful time and I'm always so impressed with what he pulls off for not very much money. Seriously, take a guess at how much you think this last vacation cost and then cut your guess in half and that is probably much closer to what we actually spent. Frugal, yet fun! We don't ever look for a week packed with a million different activities and stimulating places to fill our minds for 5 days. We always want a place that is nice, relaxing, includes a kitchen so we don't have to eat out, two bedrooms, and some sort of "fun" thing for the kids. We usually get naps in, books read, and movies watched too... I love vacation!

In early January we went to the Wisconsin Dells for a week. Dave found a great condo suite to stay in and we swam it up at the indoor water parks. It was wonderful and we're already thinking about our next vacation spot! Thanks honey for making this happen for us... we ALL love it!!

One glance of our room...it was so cozy and nice. I always love the big jetted tub we get in our rooms and the fireplace was used every day too!

The wave pool... they were battling!

Austin loved the water once he got used to it.

Our friends, the Reisetter's, joined us for one night... Mason & Jaxon had so much fun swimming and playing together.

This was the "dry park". The boys climbed and crawled all over! Their germ-a-phobic mother soaked them in soapy baths right after this! Ha!

Jaxon posing before he tackled the tube slide with dad...

Ah, mom got in one picture! Austin and me in the lazy river.

Now I am not exaggerating but Jaxon rode down this purple slide at LEAST 50 times!! He loved this thing and Austin loved to watch him!

One more family vacation down in the books... can't wait for the next one!
