First Family Vacation!!

Hooray for family vacations!! We have sadly realized that we don't take vacations...very often at all. We went to Africa for our honeymoon (thank you, Allen & Janelle) but since then every other trip we have taken was to be with family, which is great, but not the same as a vacation. So, this week we took our first family vacation!! We went to Wisconsin Dells for two nights and had a really good time! We stayed at the Wilderness, which had two indoor parks, and we enjoyed them very much! The boys loved the water (most of the time) and it was nice to just be together and not worry about housework or bills or errands or other daily life stuff.
Hanging out on our deck--it was a chilly morning, but the boys loved being out there!
Jonathan looking super cute doing tummy time on the bed.
We checked in Monday and headed straight to the pool (the boys were sooooo excited)! They couldn't get to the pool fast enough!!
We spent most of our time at the pool, with Daddy and the boys in the lazy river.
I hung out with Jonathan the whole time and we didn't go in the water much (he didn't seem to like it much, but did get used to it toward the end).
The only bad part of the trip was that AW got sick Tuesday morning from his migraine headache and he spent the first 5 hours of the day in the bathroom and sleeping in bed. After the medicine kicked in, we were good to go and ready to spend the day in the water!
Jackson and Joshua were so tired at the end of the day! Swimming wore them out!!
After three days, we were ready to head home---the boys were certainly ready to be home! We had a great time and hopefully we'll make famil vacations a yearly thing, if not more often!! :)

The Avery Five at the Wilderness Resort---we'll be back!!

Very fun! Did you get one room, or like a room with a little add on? I know my parents did it, but I can't imagine! LOL! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves.
