Here Comes The Jackpot Question In Advance

Our New Year's vacation to the indoor waterpark in the Wisconsin Dells was a lot of fun for the kids, and a good deal of work for the parents.  Your correspondent, for example, was asleep by 9:30pm on New Year's Eve, so nary a drop of champagne was had.  (Thank goodness for the cabana drinks in the waterpark...)

Caleb in NYE garb provided by the hotel.  With the paper pork pie hat tipped back like that, he looks like a toaster for a toddler ska band.  (Mirror in the bathroom, please talk freely.)

A big ol' slab of cheese.

The serenity of our new year's eve dinner, pictured here, will last about 0.05 seconds longer.

Navigating the park.

Sam rides an alligator.

Caleb at the top of a slide.  As befits their personalities, Caleb took an immediate interest in the slides and water rides, while Sam pined for visits to the Jacuzzi-style "hot pool."

Lynn and baby Cannon visit.

Sam finds a place from which to survey his kingdom.

An action shot.

Driving home.

I told the boys that if they were good, and if the economy improves, we might visit again in 2013.

Looks like a nice waterpark! And no chemical burns? A success, then!

Perhaps our fam should plan an indoor waterparks across North America trip. Not quite the same as a MLB ballpark trip but perhaps something worth blogging about. Want to come?
