Last weekend we jam packed our car with all the essentials and headed out into probably the worst weather we have had this winter so far. For months we had been planning a get together with some friends in the Dells. On the way there, we were reminiscing about the day when we used to complain about all the stuff we had to pack for our dog when we went on a weekend trip. How silly we were back then. With all of Conner's "stuff" we easily have quadrupled the amount of things jam packed into our car. Once we made it to Wisconsin Dells, checked in, unpacked, and settled in we were finally able to relax. We rented a 2 floor condo with some friends from college and their families. It ended up being 8 adults and 4 kiddos all under the age of 2. We flipped a coin for the Master Bedroom and by some miracle we won - so we had a fireplace in the room with us and a chair (which came in handy when Conner woke up at night). It was a lot of fun catching up and hanging out with everyone. Yes, I will admit, I had mixed emotions watching the kids all playing together, crawling and walking around the room while we held Conner. But all that is brushed away when Conner smiles and shows he is having a good time :) The indoor water parks were very nice. Conner really enjoyed swimming. We hit up the wave pool, the lazy river, and a regular pool. The couple without kids were able to hit up the adult slides, but I was ok passing those up this time. After a late night of playing cards after the kids went to sleep on Friday night, Saturday night showed our true age.... everyone sat up and watched American's Funniest Home Videos and called it an early night. We must be getting old. And.... the big news, Conner only threw up 3 times the whole weekend. We have started a new, low dose, antibiotic that is supposed to help with the motility of his stomach which appears to be helping. So we will keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.
