spring break a little late!

 

we never go anywhere on spring break. mostly because the kids are in one school district and i'm in another and we rarely have the same dates off!

 this year was different...even dad had some time off so we did something completely crazy and drove a few hours back to the Dells for a day and a half and spent the day in a waterpark.

 

 with the polar vortex temps it was just the tropical boost everyone needed!

 positively ghostly!

 proof that dad is never truly on vacation with his job....but all that's about to change :)

 so that was our spring break....5 months ago. better late than never!!

the lost birthday photos....2013

the awesome camera the hubs got me for Mother's Day a year ago does funny things.

every once in a while i can't find pics i've taken on the darn thing, for like months.

and then, suddenly, they reappear a half a year later.

i present to you the "lost" photos of our youngest celebrating her birthday during our trip to the Wisconsin Dells last summer! 

gee whiz...everyone has grown so much

 we got word of a restaurant that brings your food by train so that's where we went.

 we like our lemonade :)

here come the drinks! 

 and them some random stuffed animals..

 

 the main course!

 along with some bubbles...those were her favorite

 

all tuckered out back at the hotel

these were her 4th birthday photos..stay tuned for her 5th birthday photos soon because i know exactly where they are:)
