The Dells

This past weekend we took a trip to WI Dells with my family; 6 adults + 3 kids in a 3-bedroom suite for two nights.  A little getaway, but lots of fun.

Hours of swimming and playing with cousins.  These two are only a year apart and have been tending to stick together in recent weeks:

So awesome to see them just chatting with each other, each of them in turn running up to the other and grabbing a hand, excitedly wanting to bring her over to something new and fun.

This is definitely one of my favorite pics from the weekend.  Ada was a little crabby and her cousin was attempting to cheer her up with a "joke".

Bedtime snacks and stories together, snuggled in jammies after baths.

On the drive home we stopped at this awesome park.

 Golden leaves, tree bending down into the water.

 

Cool but sunny.

 

Perfect spot for a snack next to the water.

 

 And a playground with a climbing wall just the perfect size for little legs.

Up the wall, across the bridge, down the steps.  Over and over.

A few tears when it was time to go.

Beautiful fall colors the whole drive home.

I even fit in time for some sewing projects, and a few quilt shop stops.
