WI Dells

Apparently only three hours away from us is the worlds largest water park.  It's call Wisconsin Dells or for the native Iowan, The Dells.  It is a whole city that is just indoor and outdoor water parks, and hotels.  Our friends convinced us to go with them over the Palmer break to check out this crazy place and it was pretty awesome! We stayed at the Atlantis Hotel and had free passes to go to the Chula Vista water park.  

 




 We were amazed at how brave Marlee was.  She would just walk off on her own and go exploring.  She tipped over once and after she caught her breath she wanted to be back on her own. 

 

Marlee loved the kiddie pool.  It had a zero entry and lots of things that shot water out at you.  The kiddie slide was another favorite. Ironically the "safe"  kiddie slide is the only place the adults got hurt :)

  She did not want to hold still for a picture! 

Marlee loved it so much, this is what happened anytime we tried to take her out of the pool!  

 

This place also had four adult tube slides, a roller coaster type water slide, head first on mat slides, an adult sized splash pad with slides, and a laaaaaaaazy river.  We loved it and would definitely recommend a visit!

Messy Face

For Valentines Day, the grocery store down the road did this thing where kids could come frost a cookie for free for a valentine and buy a carnation for 50 cents. Sam took Marlee to frost a cookie and get a flower for Mommy.  What Sam and Marlee brought home was so funny/cute I wanted to share it.   

 The first thing they brought home was a very messy Marlee!  I didn't really expect her to leave the cookie alone, but I didn't expect this cute messy face :)  

 Marlee really enjoyed the cookie!

They also brought home was what was left of the cookie.  It was originally a big heart cookie. She ate 3/4th of it! The flower made it home just fine, but then again it isn't made of sugar :)   I just love that cute messy face!
