Fulton Family Vacation-Wisconsin Dells

What a blast we had! Brian and me and the kids, Brian's parents, and Brian's sister and boyfriend all headed to WI to celebrate Brian's dad's retirement!



So many memories and so much fun!



Time as a couple

Time with Brian's parents

Lots and lots of first...like water slides



and raft water slides- even the super big ones that usually only the big kids and adults go down!

Everyone loved the raft slides!

The kids were great and I loved every minute with them (almost)

Luxurious jacuzzi baths in Nana and Grandpa's bathroom at our cabin

Playing on the porch

An indoor playground

Bumper Boats

Clillin and Relaxing after naps

And tons and tons of time at 3 different outdoor waterparks!

There was something for everyone. The big kids

and the little ones too

This was our FIRST ever family vacation that was more than 2 nights.We found life jackets and they were amazing! Alaric started doing all these amazing things- including SWIMMING all over the pool. Amara floated everywhere and jumped in and they were incredible.


Thats Al in deep water he can't touch in just smiling away!!The whole Fulton Fam!



Chris' first time on a big raft slide! We were all so proud of her!

Alaric and Amara were unseperatable and got along famously! Our cabin's kitchen was small but we spent most of our time there!
Joe, Anita, Brian, and Bob golfed. Chris and I had the kids!The indoor wave pool was lots of fun for 10 minutes but not for the day- too rough
Alaric LOVE LOVE LOVED his bunkbed and sleeping on the top bunk. Amara had her crib but she too thought it was pretty great to be able to climb and play on.Chris' birthday is this next week so we surprised her when we were all together. We couldn't find a cake so we went with a summer sausage from WI she loved!Our deck was great and we loved sharing meals out there together.
The last night the ducks got close so the kids felt like they got to share a meal with their ducky friends
We did a special toast to Grandpa at our last dinner to honor his retirement!Bags, Bags, Bags! We loved just putting our in the street and playing in the eveningsThe Fultons!Our little cabin villageJoe and Brian
Chris and AnitaThe kiddos! Give them two empty buckets and a pile of rocks and they are content!
Me and Bob!Each night, when it was too dark to play outside and the kids were asleep, we headed in for Liverpool RummyA trip to Wisconsin isn't complete without stocking up on beer, cheese, and sausage so on our way home we stopped at two different cheese shops to shop including this one with this amazing cow!
We are home, we are tired, and we are still pretending we aren't in the reality of laundry, cleaning, yardwork, and real work yet.
What a wonderful trip we had!!!
