Wisconsin Dells

So we spent the weekend in the Wisconsin Dells.  Thought we'd be doing quite a bit, but we found out when we arrived at the time-share that since we are not members, what was available to us without extra $$ was limited.  That is OK, since we really just wanted to lounge and relax anyway. 

Dartagnan ended up spending time with his father at another resort.  His father also brought along Dartagnan's cousin Thomas and one of their mutual friends, Jacob.  The boys had fun on Saturday at the indoor amusement park at their resort.  They stayed up until 3 am goofing off and Dartagnan couldn't sleep so he was up again at 5. 

It was very kind of Dartagnan's aunt to rent us two cabins with her time-share points for Dartagnan's 15th birthday, which was Saturday.  The cabins were really nice, spacious and had a fireplace, flat-screen TV, DVD player, an equipped kitchen and two bedrooms. 

Since it snowed while we were there, a beautiful blanket of snow covered everything when we woke up Saturday morning.  The tall pines surrounding our cabins and the hilly landscape were so quiet and peaceful.  I got Lani bundled up and took her for a walk.  She had a blast stomping in the snow and busting up the large snowballs left by the plows.  Lani wouldn't keep her gloves on, and kept grabbing the snow in her excitement, then giving me her hand to wipe off, "It's cold!  Cold!" 

Dartagnan and my mom stayed in the cabin next to us and walked over the next morning.  Mom made yummy pancakes (D's and Lani's favorite) for us and then she walked back over to get D's birthday present.  On her way back, she fell (it was still icy on the road between the two cabins) and hit her head really hard.  That was scary.  I'm still not sure if she is really all right, because her left eye has been watering the last two days.  When I talked with her this morning, she was at the optometrist and I told her to tell him what happened.  I've not heard back from her.  When she fell, her glasses fell off her head and we found them later in the snow.  Unfortunately, one of her lenses had fallen out, so she will be getting new glasses (hers were over two years old and she needs a new pair).

Got to head to Physical Diagnosis, which is officially my favorite class this term.
