We had a wonderful time on our Wisconsin trip earlier this month. We left on Thursday, 10/9 and checked in at a Residence Inn in Madison WI. We stopped off at a family farm and played on all the kid attractions and then did a small corn maze. The kids had a blast! Then we did some geocaching in Madison and went to two local playgrounds. We finished the night with swimming in the hotel pool.
The next morning we woke up early and headed to Wisconsin Dells. We checked into our cabin by 10am and unloaded everything. We stayed at Kathy's Kozy Kottages right on Lake Delton (or what was Lake Delton until the lake drained in June 08.) You will see in the pictures that Lake Delton is just damp in spots but all the water is gone. We learned that they are going to start filling the Lake again this December with a slow fill so by next spring/ summer it will be back to normal. We were amazed at how many construction people were working on the repairs of the Dam the entire weekend.
The cabin was a cute 2 bedroom, full kitchen and bath cottage that we just loved. The weather was absolutely perfect while we were there ranging from 70-80 degrees! While in the Dells, we did some hiking at the state park, went on a boat ride in the upper dells, mini golfed two times, ate out a lot and found 26 geocaches. We also got extremely lucky and met two ladies on our boat tour who offered us free water park passes at Chula Vista water park so we took the kids there on Saturday and Sunday evening for hours of swimming! The boys (and even Mommy!) braved the water slides. It was a wonderful time to spend together as a family.
