Last wkd, the girls and I suprised Andy with a trip to the Wisconsin Dellsfor his birthday! He was definetely surprised. We had him close his eyes the entire way there! Of course he fell asleep so that wasnt too hard for him :)
I had reservations at the Best Western for Friday night. Then we had planned on coming home Saturday. When we got there, Mianna and I first ran in and decorated the room, then she guided him with his eyes closed to the room. He only ran into the wall a couple times with her guidance :)
Friday night, we started off by eating, then went golfing at the Pirates Cove. It was very busy, but a ton of fun! After that it was rather late so we went walking down town hoping Mianna would fall asleep so we could get some alone time in, but that didnt happen,so we stopped to watch a juggler on the corner with some ice cream. Then we went back and went straight to bed! We were tired.
The next morning, we got up and headed over to the army ducks! It was a lot of fun. Mianna really enjoyed the ride! After the ducks, we went to Storybook Gardens and the Wildlife park for the day. There was so much to see. The Storybook Gardens part of the park was rather run down and really needs to be updated, but the wildlife park was all worth going. We saw all sorts of animals, took a ride on the very small train, and watched an animal show that was very cool! The best part of the whole park was we got to feed the giraffs!!!! Something that I wanted to do on our honeymoon at the San Diego wild park, but it was $40! But not here!!!! It was awesome! Then we left the park and were going to head home. But if we went home then, we wouldnt get home till 9 pm and we still didnt get our alone time in eather! So, Andy and I talked and decided to stay another night hopeing that this time Mianna would fall asleep early. So, we took her over to the park while Andy called all the hotels and motels in the area. They were all BOOKED! All 150 of them! But we got lucky and stayed in a small cabin for the night. Then we got a bite to eat and went down town again. This time we saw a Indian hoop dancer. Pretty cool :) Then it happened, Mianna fell asleep... at 10:30pm!!!! haha. So, Andy and went to Adventures Golf. We strolled Mianna around in the stroller and carried Hadley in her car seat. We had alone time at last and it was great! Andy and I had a ton of fun! Very well needed!
The next morning after breakfast we went on the Original Ducks where Mianna and Hadley both slept! Then we went over to the Deer Farm and fed the deer. It was pretty fun, but a bit hot. After that, we decided the birthday vacation better end, so we drove home!
The trip was so awesome! We got family time and Andy and me time in! :)
Overall Andy had a great birthday and was very surprised!
