To round out our “family fun days,” we drove down to Wisconsin Dells with Justin’s parents, John and Sarah, where we met up with his brother Luke and Luke’s girlfriend Cheyanne on Monday. Justin’s parents booked a suite at The Wilderness Resort where there are two indoor water parks and a wave pool, connected by hallways and skywalks. After meeting at Damon’s for dinner (so John and Justin could get their trivia fix) we drove back to the Lodge for the evening. John, Justin, Luke and Cheyanne decided to check out the water parks while Sarah and I drove over to a nearby outlet mall to walk around.
Splash it up!
On Tuesday morning we were up and ready to go when the parks opened. Justin and I spent the morning in the “Wild Water Dome” where the large wave pool was located. The dome was also really nice, as the roof was all glass, letting plenty of sunlight in. As John, Sarah, Luke and Cheyanne joined us, we all decided to explore the other water parks, which included quite a hike to the other end of the resort. A few tube rides and the lazy river were enjoyed, including some additional time in the wave pool, and by early afternoon we were hungry and tired (and it started to get more and more crowded with Spring Breaking families). We changed, had a relaxed lunch at Uno’s Chicago Grill, and then headed home. While we had a great time playing and swimming and sharing the time with family, we all agreed that the Kalahari in the Dells was the better of the two resorts, as the water park is larger and all in one place, and a bit easier to get around.
Thanks, John and Sarah, for this fun get-away!
