We tend to church hop a bit more in the summer. We belong to a parish, but we usually just go to whichever mass fits best in our schedule. Well apparently it had been awhile since we were at our parish because we didn't realize they had changed over to their summer mass schedule or that there was a church picnic on one particular Sunday.
We arrived 30 minutes early so we hit up the park next door.
After mass we headed over to the picnic! It was a gorgeous day and who can pass up free food, beer and fun!
Wally gave the kids the option of going to a baseball game or to the zoo on Father's Day - what can I say? These kids love the zoo and we certainly get our money's worth out of membership! So we packed a picnic lunch and headed out to enjoy the beautiful day!
Back in the fall, Wally's assistant golf coach gave him a gift certificate for a one-night stay at their timeshare at Great Wolf Lodge in the Wisconsin Dells. With our Disney vacation and then baseball season starting up, we hadn't found the time to go. The certificate was going to expire at the end of September and with the new baby on the way and school and golf season starting up again in August, we just weren't sure when we were going to be able to go. We finally found a free weekend after Wally's baseball team lost in the regional finals...luckily we were able to book a last minute trip!
We have never been to the Great Wolf, but the kids were SUPER excited - they love waterparks!
We went Saturday - Monday and it was perfect. Most kids were still in school so it wasn't super busy. We were able to get into our room 4 hours early!
Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day outside, but unfortunately the pool water was just not warm enough! The splash pad areas were ok for a bit, but there was no way any of us were going in the pool. Luke tried to last but it was just too cold.
We were able to enjoy a snack outside though!
There was plenty to do in the 3 indoor waterparks though!
I couldn't even tell you how many times Luke did this!
As always, this girl was her super brave self in the water!
And this guy loves the slides! Big and small - doesn't matter!
After convincing me that he would be ok on this slide, I gave in. I was a very nervous momma watching him come down, but he loved it!
Luke was excited to be able to do this one on his own!
And Paige was able to go with Wally - she loved it! As soon as they came down, she said "Let's do it again!".
They raced down!
Goofy!
Sunday morning we decided to go on the "world famous" duck tour! All I can say is, at least we did it once, but we won't waste our money again!
The kids enjoyed some fancy umbrella drinks at dinner Sunday night...
That is until Luke fell asleep - ha!
He woke up ready to go to the gameroom though (of course)!
We met some characters and just had a really great weekend!
It's been awhile since I've been on here - I have some catching up to do!
The Village I work for held a Public Work's Open House at the end of May. Luke was supposed to have a t-ball game that morning but it was cancelled last minute because of field conditions so we were able to head over to the Open House!
