The Wisconsin Dells - Wilderness Hotel & Resort

During our time in the Midwest, my parents booked us for two nights at the Wilderness Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. It is HUGE with multiple indoor and outdoor waterparks, arcades, and play areas. The kids are having a blast!

The first day, we arrived in the Dells by 2:30. We had to wait in a long line at check-in, but were able to get our rooms. We dressed and went straight down to the nearest waterpark.

I'm at the bottom, waiting for Walter to come down the slide.

After dinner the first night. A buffet where the kids eat free!

Tuesday morning, the kids slept until 7:15, then we ate breakfast in the room. After we were ready to go, we took the shuttle to the ferry, then the ferry over to a far away part of the resort. The kids LOVED the ferry ride. And the waterpark, of course.

10:30am and the kids were ready to sleep!

After a pizza lunch, the kids were ready to get back in the pool.  Here's Adele, shooting a basket.

Gordon giving it a try. This was a fun game because the kids would throw the ball, then they'd swim after it, and wait until it was their turn to be held up again. It really wore them out!

And here goes Walter!

After Cubby's cove, we headed back to our area of the hotel. The kids had a snack, then we changed into fresh swimsuits. We went to the Klondike, which is only one building over.

This water slide was a very big one. I wasn't sure the kids would go on it, but then we saw a very young boy, so I sent them up. They came down with HUGE smiles. Here's Adele.

Gordon with the HUGE grin.

Happy Walter

We spent a lot of time on the lazy river. Grandpa and I took the kids together a couple times and I also took each kid by myself. It was a lot of fun! This is me with Walter.

We spent two hours at the Klondike, then went back to the buffet for dinner. After that, we headed back to the Wild West play place. We'd gone there the night before and hit the arcade after, so we stuck with that plan tonight. This play place is amazing!

This was one of the slides at the play place.

Another crazy-huge slide

Adele was amazingly good at the driving games. 

Popcorn play!
