Thanksgiving

I am so far behind, again.  Since we could go to Utah for Thanksgiving to be with family and no one was coming here we decided to celebrate the holiday in an unconventional way.  It also just happened to be Jake's first 3 day weekend of the outage.  So we decided to take some much needed family time.  We took a mini vacation to Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.  It is the home of tons of indoor and outdoor water and amusement parks.  Of course. all of the outdoor stuff was closed in November but we stayed at the My Olympus resort which had both an indoor water and amusement park.  We left on Thanksgiving and came home on Saturday afternoon.  The only down side was that we didn't end up having a thanksgiving type dinner until the week after we got back.  But I don't think anyone minded.  Here is the room we stayed in.

The wagon wheel in the back where Myles is climbing is a bunk bed that Abbie and Ashton slept in.  

Here are the kids bowling

And where we spent the most time, the water park...

They had 4 big water slides to go on, some with tubes and some without.  A lazy river and a kids area with a pirate ship with little slides that both Abbie and Myles adored.  

Jake convinced me to take Myles on this slide, I didn't know what he would think of it or if he would even like it, but he LOVED it and would point at it over and over again wanting to go again and again.  It was really cute.

I took him on it more times than I could count and Jake took him a lot too.  He is a little fish, he didn't want to get out of the water even when he was freezing cold and tired.  This trip also showed me that we need a new little point and shoot camera so many of the pictures ended up blurry on this trip I was so unhappy.  

Super fun Thanksgiving!

Oh and we are definitely going to go back in the summer when we can enjoy all of the outdoor water parks!
