Glacier Canyon @ the Dells!

Have I mentioned that my husband gets the best deals for vacations? Well, he does! For not too much money he manages to take our family on at least one vacation every year. When we started having kids we decided this was an investment that was very important to us... time carved out from the hum-drum of everyday life to connect as a family, experience new things together, work on our relationships, and have fun making positive memories. We hope to continue this tradition well into our own kids having their kids someday. Our trip to the Dells is a mixed fun adventure's trip with plenty of relaxation too. Perfect for a family with two small children in the dead of winter!! We have plenty to do, plus get lots of down time. Thank you, babe, for another very memorable vacation!!!

 Where we stay we have access to 3 indoor water-parks, a huge wave pool area, and a huge indoor "dry" park with arcade. The beauty is we don't have to set a foot out in the cold weather to get there. By the end of the week we have tracked our miles in all the halls and sky-walks!

 Uncle Dave and Amber riding the waves! Jaxon's in the background going solo...

 First trip down the favorite green slide...

 A little bit of tag down the slide... 

 Jaxon moved so fast I barely got any pictures of him... here is my best attempt! This was the first year Jaxon could ride the Hurricane... and with a bit of pressure from Dad, he did it! I did it last year and screamed most the way down!! Jaxon was pretty proud, but didn't want to do it again :)

 Can you tell he was so happy I made him put his life jacket on? :)

 Dave, Uncle Aaron, and Jaxon jumping in the waves...

 Austin LOVES the water!

 Bumper boats...

 They were fighting over a tube and I just stood there taking a picture laughing....nice mom.

 Dads and their babes...

 Brothers making up their own fun...

 Austin running to the green slide...

Last park of the trip.... wet, tired, and hungry. Time to head home :)
