first family vacation (wednesday)...

for our first "family" vacation, we decided to go to wisconsin dells.

drew and i had magical thoughts in our head of how fun and wonderful it would be
max loves bathtime, so why wouldn't he love to be in a giant bath?

well, i guess we didn't figure that max's bathtime fun doesn't usually include hundreds of other people, loud and strange noises, and unfamiliarity. add to that a stuffy nose and a the fact that he is cutting a tooth...it was not wonderful. it was still fun and minus us being stressed parents, it was fun to get away and spend time with the family that joined us.

wednesday drew, grama, max and i arrived at glacier canyon lodge at the wilderness resort and checked into our room.

we had lunch and got familiar with our surroundings.


grama helped max get changed into his swim trunks and then he waited patiently for the rest of us to get ready.

we got a quick family photo and headed to one of the indoor parks.

max was really unsure of the water


but he was perfectly content just hanging out and cuddling with grama.

look at that belly!

after a while we headed back to the room for naps.

max had a great nap, played with daddy and then it was time to make dinner.

max wanted to help grama...

after max went down for the night, we got to play my new game.
