Our 8 year old trip with Sissy and Dylan to Chicago and the Wisconsin Dells - July 12th thru July 16th, 2015

Sissy and Dylan spent Saturday night at our house so we could leave really early on Sunday morning.  Our first stop was at McDonalds in Illinois, this was our first pic.  Sissy had her video camera going constantly and evidently Dylan wasn't cooperating when Sissy made the announcement to Dylan, she said "Dylan you need to get your memory ready because this is going to happen."  We know who the boss is on this trip.  We had a blast.


7-12-2015 - When we got to Chicago on Sunday the first place we went was to the Children's Museum down on the pier.  The kids loved it.

When we got done at the museum and visiting the pier we came back to our hotel and the kids went swimming in the indoor pool.
 
We ate in our room that night because we were all pretty tired.  Dylan and Sissy were asleep by 7pm and Bob and I joined them shortly after that.









7-13-2015 - The next morning we left for the Dells. The kids enjoyed their surprises in the car on the way to the Dells.  Dylan made a snowman bubble and Sissy entertained us by singing "Let it Go".

We got to the Dells at lunch time so we ate at a Train restaurant called Buffalo Phil's.  The kids loved it because they delivered the food on the train.

After lunch we went on the Wisconsin Duck for a ride, first time for the kids to be on a duck.  Sissy loved it, Dylan was a little hesitant.

We then went to our Villa, it was called Christmas Mountain Village, in the winter it is a ski resort.  It was very nice, the kids loved it.  Their room was upstairs, so they thought they were really something.











7-14-2015 - Today we went to Circus World in Baraboo, WI.  That was an awesome place, the kids really liked it and got to be part of a circus act.  We also saw a great magician show too.  The kids had never been to a circus before so that was great. We spent most of the day at Circus World, there was a lot to see.
 
 
 
 
 
 


7-15-2015 - Our last day we spent at Tommy Bartlett Exploratory, that was awesome place to, a lot of hands on stuff to do. 

After that we went on a Dells boat ride, we really enjoyed that too.  During the stop of the boat ride we saw a dog jump from one column of rock to another, pretty great.

We ended the day with go kart rides and then swimming at our resort.




















7-16-2015 We were planning on leaving early in the morning but as luck would have it, Dylan woke up with an asthma attack.  His air peak flow was very low and we needed to make a stop at the emergency room at the hospital.  They gave Dylan a breathing treatment and some steroids and told us we were good to go.  Dylan had no more trouble.

All in all we had another awesome trip with our awesome grandkids.  We are so lucky that we are able to make some great memories with Dylan and Sissy.  They are our heart.
