Last Thursday we headed down to Wisconsin dells for a long
weekend. We stayed at the Great Wolf
Resort. It was the first time taking the
kids to the Dells and it was a success.
Maggie has asked when we get to go back pretty much every day since we
have been home. The kids loved the
waterpark and it seemed very age appropriate for both of them. They both had plenty of things their-size to
do. Maggie was tall enough to do all the
big waterslides except one. Tommy was
able to actually do the little kid waterslides all by himself. He looked so small walking up to the waterslides
and people kept commenting that they couldn’t believe he was going down all by
himself—of course one of us was waiting in the water for him at the bottom
since he can’t swim. We got a pretty good little system down where Susie would
wait at the bottom for him and I would wait at the top of the slides. So Susie would catch him, put him on the edge
of the pool and he would come climbing back up to me at the top. They also had the lily pads/rope that you can
climb across the pool on. At first Maggie
was a little intimidated, as it was only mostly big kids doing them, but by the
3rd day she was a pro—no help from mommies and she was one of the
faster kids. There was also one waterslide
that she was timid to try until the last day but she got brave and did and
loved it. She calls it the “magic carpet
ride”. It is pretty steep and pretty
much straight down and you have to lay on a mat face first. I couldn’t believe she did it and now she won’t
stop talking about it. It was a
wonderful trip.

Tommy loved the water jets spraying out of the ground. He has no issues with water spraying him in the face.
These are the magic carpet slides, the top is up another 3or 4 stories
This is one of my favorite Maggie faces ever. She is so excited and proud of herself all at the same time. Mommies were proud too. She had got scared at the last minute and walked back down the stairs the previous day. By the last day it was her favorite slide.
We may never have a normal picture of both of them looking at the camera again.
