Fun at the Kalahari

We stayed at the Kalahari in the Dells this week...it was a much needed getaway. We talked about upgrading our room when we got there and to our surprise they upgraded us for free! Our room was as long as our house, had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fireplace and huge flatscreen on the wall above the fireplace. Aiden loved the waterpark on Sunday, but had a bug of some sort on Monday and wanted nothing to do with the water. On Sunday he even went down the kiddie slides by himself!

He was face-to-face with a real baby lion! I wish I would have had my camera for that...too cute. I think the highlight of Aiden's vacation was all of the fake animals in the lobby, especially the gorilla. He hugged and kissed it, even tickled his toes before we left on Tuesday! You could always hear his animal sounds echoing in the lobby. Enjoy the pictures!
*********************
Aiden and Daddy went down this slide about 6 times. He laughed so hard afterward and kept signing "more" to go down again!


He just helped himself up the kiddie slides

Holding up the line to say "Hi" to this guy about 10 times...




Yes, he went down this big slide by himself. Of course we were very close to him while he did it.

Our fearless little boy loved the slide!



Here comes the infamous gorilla..."Ooo-ooo-ooo" is what we heard for 3 days.

Hugs...

Kisses...


I thought it was hysterical how little Aiden looked in the big bathtub! This was his very own bathroom.

They had a Pottery Pizazz store at the hotel where you could pick out pottery, paint it, and they fire it for you. I've always wanted to do that, so I was pretty excited! I painted a flower (of course) and Aiden painted a cross ornament. It was cool and I can't wait to do it again with larger pieces.


Everyday at 3 p.m. the kids could decorate cookies in the lobby. As you can see, Aiden thoroughly enjoyed his cookie!
