Water Park Party! {Grand Lodge- Wausau}
















While my whole family was together in Wausau, WI a couple weeks ago my parents treated us all to a day at this FANTASTIC water park in a hotel nearby. Everyone had THE BEST TIME!! It was so fun to be all together again and the kids had a great time with their cousin Julia. And of course we were celebrating Mickey's big 10 birthday that day also. He kept telling me it was the best day EVER. :) Thank you again Mom and Dad- we will remember that day always!

I'm sure all of you pictured here are going to frantically call me telling me to take off the pictures of you with no make-up... sorry! If I'm willing to show myself you have to be too! ;)

Side note: Towards the end of the day John and I took a tumble going down the big water slide together and I smacked my head HARD on the slide. I thought I had a concussion- it really scared me because I always think: I can't get hurt- I'm the mom! Luckily I ended up ok- a bump and a headache and a bit of feeling weird later that night. And then the next morning I woke up with a bruise on my shoulder that is still hurts to this day. Definitely could have been a lot worse- and better me than one of the kids, right?

Hike on Rib Mountain

On our first day in Wausau, WI(visiting my parents) we went up to Rib Mt. for a hike- the kids had been looking forward to it since we did it 2 years ago.
It was a BEAUTIFUL day and Amy was able to join us too!
The boys and I climbed a REALLY tall observation tower(John was too scared) haha
Mary Beth kept climbing up giant rocks and giving me a heart attack...
We found lots of wild raspberries along the way- YUMMY!




Amy spotted a teeny tiny frog!



And right before we left we saw this huge bird flying around- turkey vulture? hawk? I can't remember... it was a really fun day though!
