Vacation Getaway


This past week we went to Jellystone Park in Warrens, WI again to wish for better weather and fun! Luckily, we had beautiful warm weather and had a great time. 3 nights doesn't seem enough for a getaway. Oh well- back to reality! Anyways, here's a recap of what we were up to on our trip:

Day 1 (Saturday)
We arrived at the campground around 4pm. Leah had to scope everything out in our quiant little cabin. 2 sleeping rooms was about it! We then walked around the park, taking in all the sites. After our supper of hot dogs and carrots, we went to the outdoor waterpark, only to find that the water was freezing!!! YIKES! Poor Leah looked so excited! Well maybe the next day we'll have better luck, so we thought. It was fun to see Leah with her 1st campfire! Daddy tried so hard to get it going, dang wet wood!

DAY 2 (Sunday)
We started the day going on a train ride throughout the park. Leah LOVED this! She kept saying "choo choo" the whole ride, while waving at people we passed. We then joined "Tot Time" to play with side walk chalk and bubbles. Leah (and daddy) especially loved the chalk! (You'll have to check out the pics!) After lunch, Leah took her 2 hour long nap then we headed to the outdoor waterpark, again only to find the water was freezing! So we decided it was best to go to the indoor one and pay a small fee. Once there, Leah was in heaven!! Her favorite slide was the Boo Boo slide, which was the perfect height for her. We ended this night with a paddle boat ride, a campfire (daddy had to get Lighter fluid), and Cow Tails!

Day 3 (Monday)
This was our last night there, so we wanted to live it up! So we again, went to the indoor waterpark. Spent part of the morning there and then the evening. We couldn't believe how much fun Leah was having. She was very gutsy and seemed to prefer the bigger slides with mommy and daddy! She took a few tumbles but that didn't seem to stop her! We had to take another train ride through the park and join the other kids singing and dancing with Cindy bear. Leah was a little hesistant being near her but was comfortable in mommy's arms to get a picture with her. Our night ended with another campfire (lucky for more Lighter fluid).

Day 4 (Tuesday)
Leah decided to wake us up at 630am to start the day! So we decided to pack up and head for breakfast- guess where? McDonald's! Leah can even say this now, isn't that sad? So we said our goodbyes to the cabin, waterpark, and Yogi. After breakfast, Jarrod so badly wanted to go tour Leinenkugel's in Chippewa Falls. Leah did a great job during the tour thanks to her new stroller! The rest of the ride home, Leah took a nap along with daddy while mommy had a relaxing drive! It was sad to be back home but good to be back on a schedule and to a comfy bed!
