Baraboo Hills

Today is the first day home after our 5 day adventure in Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at a private campground in Baraboo called Baraboo Hills. Since we were staying for 4 nights we decided to rent a little cabin. It had beds and a bathroom so it was good enough.

We started off our trip on Friday with a stop at Devil's Lake state park to catch some rays at the beach. Casey and Caleb both really enjoyed playing in the water and the sand.


Friday night we spent some time swimming in the pool to cool off after unpacking. Then it was off to the LUAU for some fun.

The weather was gorgeous again on Saturday so we decided to take my sister's family to Devil's lake for some more water fun. Besides swimming and playing in the sand, the big kids enjoyed a short hike with their dads.

Saturday night at the campground they had all kinds of fun activities to participate in. We took part in the wagon ride around the park. Afterward the girls enjoyed the ice cream social.

Sunday and Monday the weather wasn't the greatest so we had to get creative. We spent some time at the McDonald's Play land to burn off some energy. Casey and Hannah got the opportunity to fish in the pond a couple of times as well. They caught some big ones!

What's a vacation without the food? We ate so much this weekend...

When we got the chance to enjoy the pool we had a great time. The big kids all had vests that enabled them to jump in and swim on their own. It was a lot of fun to watch them swim around like little fish.

Here they are relaxing and watching a movie after pudgy pies on Monday night.

On Tuesday we spent the day at Riverview Park and Waterworld. They had WI days where you could get in for $5 if you were a resident...one of my best deals yet! We had a blast riding on rides and playing in the water. Casey even went on an enclosed water slide with daddy.
