Dream Vacation in the Dells

Our deream vacation in the Dells.
I had a conference in WI Dells over Jude's actual birthday so we decided to load up the family and all go to the Dells for a couple of days. It was 84 and sunny outside when we arrived, a welcomed change from the 45 degree and foggy weather we left behind in Duluth. The boys went nuts at the waterparks. It is unbelievable the size of some of these waterpark hotel/resorts. We stayed at the Wilderness, it had 3 indoor waterparks, 3 arcade areas, and indoor playland and multiple eating establishments. Jude and Jax had never eaten at a buffett (ick) before...they thought it was great. (again ick) They could not believe that there were so many doughnuts.
We had a great time except for Jax getting sick and upon our return Jude getting sick too. OH well, what do you do?

Jude Party

Jude will turn five here in a couple of days. Yesterday we had his firs real friend birthday party. It was as crazy as you can imagine. There were 23 kids and we weht to the Gymnastics Academy. The kids get to go nuts run around jump in foam pits swing on bars it is a pretty fun deal for kids. We then went up stairs for pizza and cupcakes. Jude was a very lucky boy he received many gifts and had a wonderful time. Burke and I are glad that it was a success and that it is done.

Skiing

Only one weekend of skiing left this year.
The boys have really done well. I am so glad that they love skiing. Can you say family ski trips!!!

Ali and Mia

Ali and Mia had a dance competition in DUluth and they did great!!! We had so much fun watching them!

Sydney sleepover

Sydney came to DUluth and had a sleepover. We went to adventure zone on Friday and to PBS television where Syd, Jude and Jax were on TV with auntie Brita on Saturday morning! What a treat!!!!
