Cranberry Country Lodge

We traveled to Tomah this weekend and enjoyed some relaxation and swimming. It was the perfect weekend for an indoor waterpark as there was a snowstorm going on outside our lodge. Abby joined us this weekend and the boys sure did have fun with her! The kids were getting impatient as we waited for Chad to get home on Thursday so we could leave for our get-away. We came home Saturday afternoon as the kids were anxious to color some Easter eggs. Here are some pictures of our exciting weekend....

Carter & Abby camped out on the futon in the living room. They had some late nights telling stories and giggling. They decorated their sleeping area with a variety of stuffed animals.
It wouldn't be a vacation without a pillow fight......
The kids decided to bring along some Easter eggs and hide them around our room. I'm not sure if they had more fun hiding the eggs or swimming! Their schedule went something like this......swimming, hiding Easter eggs, swimming, hiding Easter eggs, swimming, hiding Easter eggs. Oh yes, and then an occasional hide-n-seek game and Candy Land game.I just had to take this picture of Carter helping his little brother down the steps. Usually Carter & Abby were a mile in front of us. I don't see this too often, so I had to get it on camera.
The waterpark has a nice kiddy area that all the kids enjoyed. This was Bradley's favorite part in the waterpark. The waterpark also had two bigger waterslides (that Carter & Abby enjoyed), a large whirlpool, and a swimming pool with basketball hoops and a volleyball net.
Bradley, Abby & Carter..............
Abby under the waterfall. "What's up?"..............

Carter on top of the waterslide in the kiddy pool area. Abby & Carter liked the waterslides so much that their skin was red and itchy when it was all done. I had to get out the baby powder to help with their sore bodies.
I think Bradley enjoyed the waterpark the most. He did not want to leave each time. Chad or I stayed longer with him in the waterpark until he was ready to leave. Once he realized that Abby wasn't in the pool anymore, then he was ready to go up to our room. I don't know how many times he said, "Where's Abby?"...
Everyone enjoying the nice, warm whirlpool (as it was snowing outside!)....

Bradley trying to tip Abby's "car" over......
Bradley succeeded at tipping Abby's car over (maybe with a little help from Abby)....

Abby and I decided that we had to save the best picture for last. This was Abby imitating Uncle Chad's little dance that he did for us. We sure did get a kick out of this!
We had a great time on our Easter break! The boys are still talking about how much fun they had with Abby. In fact, Bradley is still asking, "Where's Abby?". It was the first thing he asked this morning when he woke up. Thank you Abby for joining us on our little vacation.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!
