Waterpark Vacation - 1st Family Vacation

We took our first family trip with Chesney this past Thursday and Friday.  We arrived at the Kalahari Hotel in Wisconsin Dells on Thursday night.  Somehow we got a huge room that actually had two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a separate living room.  And the view from our room was the theme park.  Chesney loved watching the "go-getter cars" (AKA the go-carts).  Ignore the drenched hair in the picture below, we had just finished swimming.
 We ordered pizza on Thursday night and let Chesney stay up late to eat with us.  She didn't get to bed until after 9.  But this kid has an internal clock like no other, she was up at 6:10am and ready to go.  So we got dressed and went to Perkins for some breakfast.
 After breakfast, we hit the water park again.  We played in the area that has both little kid and bigger kids stuff for a while.  We got to go on some slides together and play in the water.
 
 
 
 And she bounced in the coconut swings.
 
 
 
 She loved playing in the water fountains.
 Then we found an area with little kid slides.  This area was amazing.  There were at least 12 slides in this area and all without a weight limit so mom or dad can slide with their little one.  There was even a little kids lazy river!
 
  Chesney did get a little tired by early afternoon, so we packed up and went across the street to the outlet mall.  She fell asleep in the stroller soon after we got there and napped for about 30-45 minutes.  When she woke up, she asked right away to go back to the water park.  We couldn't turn down an opportunity for more fun with this sweetie, so we headed back.
 
 
Enjoying the lazy river.  We finally left the water park around 4, just in time to decorate a cookie at the hotel.  Chesney napped most of the way home.
I think it's safe to say Chesney had a great time.  And we had so much fun with her.  We will certainly be taking more family vacations like this.
