Our trip to the Dells

On Sunday, July 10, we headed up to the Wisconsin Dells for our annual trip to Wilderness on the Lake. We had such a great time; we stayed in the condos there like we've been doing for the past 7-8 years, and there is such a beautiful view of Lake Delton from our screened-in porch. It was incredibly hot most of the time we were up there, which is perfect for swimming! Kate loved the kids' pool. There was this kids' slide that had about five steps to get up, so I would stand there as she crawled up (so that she didn't fall backward) and then as soon as she got up, I stood at the bottom to catch her when she came down. She certainly didn't need much help though! She is so independent, she loved going down the slide by herself. She would often go down literally 20 times in a row. Now, if only that independence included sleeping by herself... one can only dream!

At night, we had a great time just hanging out in the condo and playing cards or watching movies (Rori brought up White Chicks, which is an absolutely hilarious movie that you can watch over and over without getting bored). As always, we said that three nights were not enough, so we're thinking that next year, we'll have to do four.






The beautiful view from our room; too bad the screen is so noticeable!


Is she a baby Dan or what?


Entranced by the TV; we never let her watch, so she was thrilled that she could watch Dora the Explorer (or whatever Rori was watching; can't quite remember)
