Vacation

We had no daycare last week so we decided instead of trying to find sitters why not take advantage and go on vacation ourselves?!  So our vacation started off at our friend’s cabin.  There were 8 adults, 7 kiddos (all 4 and under) and two cookin’.  Next year we will be outnumbered!  Yikes!  This year I’d have to say was one of the best.  Most of the kids were old enough to play with each other and still young enough for nap time (which is needed by adults to relax).  Last year at the cabin I was still pumping and Remy was only army crawling so he had a hard time getting around still.  And next year I’ll have an 8 month old!  Crazy talk.  Anyways, fun was had by all.  Well, except for Phil when his e-cig broke the night before we left and he was crabby to get home the next morning…

We took Monday off to relax at home and then on Tuesday we headed to WI Dells.  This was going to be our first time taking Remy to a hotel!  Seems weird because he’s almost 2 years old.  We got to our hotel early afternoon and got Remy in his swim trunks and brought him to the toddler water park at the hotel.  At first he was very timid about the whole thing.  He was interested but needed to be held when we went in the pool or wanted to hold our hand.  Took the kid a little bit to warm up to it but by the time we left he was having a blast in the water and loved it.  However, he hated everything that sprayed water.  He hates sprinklers so that makes sense.  He just stayed clear of getting sprayed by anything.  Which meant no big slides.  Oh well, maybe next time.  All that mattered is that he was having fun.  So besides a few trips to the toddler water park we went out to eat a few times, walked around a little and went on the WI Ducks boat tour.  There wasn’t really much time for anything else since Remy still needs an afternoon nap and goes to bed by 8:00 and we were only there for one full day.  But it was still nice to get away and for Remy to have new experiences.  We’ll definitely go back to the Dells when he’s older but will probably stay elsewhere next time.  Here's a bunch of pics from our Dells trip.  I was very impressed with how well Remy did.  Such a good boy when he's busy having fun!!
