Watch out Wisconsin-

Here comes the Cowsers!  This past weekend we went to Wisconsin Dells with the entire Cowser family.  It was a jam-packed weekend, but we ended up having a great time.  We left Friday morning and headed up caravan style with AB, Kelly & Kinsley in their car and Cheryl, Adam, Reagan and Rylie in Cheryl's Tahoe.  We made it to the Chula Vista Resort about 3:30 Friday afternoon.  Liz met us there from Chicago, Brian drove from MN and Andy and Carol (PaPaw and MaMaw) drove up later that night.  Immediately after we got to the condo Alyvia wanted to change into her swimsuit and hit the indoor water park!  We somehow convinced her to wait until after dinner, but then she wasn't taking no for an answer-so to the park we went!

Baby Colson, fast asleep after "swimming" at the LOUD water park!

When we got to the resort Alan realized we forgot Colson's bed!  We tried to go to Wal-Mart to get him a new one (to rent at the resort was $50!), but it was snowing so bad that evening we decided he could sleep in his car seat.  He actually did great!  Alyvia on the other hand, had some sort of allergic reaction to the sheets or the detergent.  Alan got up with her at 3:30 a.m. and showered her to get whatever it was off of her little itchy legs :(  Poor Livi and us didn't get too much sleep that evening.  Our family got up Saturday morning and headed to breakfast at the resort-very yummy!  When everyone else was up and had eaten, we once again hit the indoor water park with Mamaw and Papaw too this time.  We quit in time for lunch and to celebrate Reagan and Rylie's birthdays back in our condo. Half way through the party Alyvia was asking to go back to the water park, so as soon as things were (un) wrapped up (ha, ha, ha) back we went!  Alyvia had a blast Saturday afternoon at the water park.  Alan and Cheryl took her and Reagan on some bigger kid water slides and they couldn't get enough!  I kept Colson pretty much out of the water that day b/c he got so cold Friday when we put him in the pool, poor baby.  He was such a good boy though.  He's such a happy go-lucky baby most of the time and was able to relax no matter where we were or who was with him.  It's so great that he's so laid back (much like his mother, ha ha) and he is cool with whomever is watching him.  Alan and I were able to take Alyvia on the slides together while somebody else watched Colson, so fun!

 Saturday night we spent back in the condo watching the Packers game (for Brian and his family)  The big girls started to watch a movie, but they both passed out about 15 minutes into it :)   Our whole family slept MUCH better Saturday night.



Colson and Kinsley havin' a chat

We got up Sunday morning, packed up and hit the road!  We made it home that afternoon and then headed to the Bradley game that night (crazy, I know but we have season tickets!).  It was a whirlwind weekend, but it was so worth it since Alyvia had such a fun time with her cousins.  Much thanks to Cheryl for all the planning that went into the weekend, we all had a great time with the family!
