We went to the Kalahari Resort at the Wisconsin Dells last weekend and had a BLAST! Madison liked riding the rides and playing games almost as much as the waterpark.

FRIENDS!

The kids ready to head to the waterpark!

Madison went to a friends birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese's. this is about as close as she got to Chuck-E when he came out for the party.

Madison and Carlos (the birthday boy)

Madison's friends Josh and Danielle liked playing in the tent when they came over. The tent is tipped on it's side and they are all looking out the windows.

January Activities

Madison doing her "Atlas" impression.

It finally got up to just below freezing ( about 30 degrees F) so we went out to play in the sunshine. That was about 50 degrees warmer than a few days prior.

Madison loves to help in the kitchen, especially when she gets to make pudding and lick the spoon. (after it is done being mixed of course :)

Madison got to meet Isaiah for the first time. She even let him ride on her pet lion.

Madison likes to eat lemons straight like an orange. Her friend Ellie brought her the biggest lemon we have ever seen, it was bigger than a grapefruit. It was from Texas of course since they grow everything big down there.

Christmas

This is the wonderful weather conditions we drove in anytime we went somewhere on our trip to Michigan. It was kind of hard to even SEE THE ROAD!

Oh No! Daddy is driving again!

Just a little more to shovel and I will be done!

Madison shook santa's hand at Christmas.

Madison got a pet lion that she can ride for Christmas from her favorite Great-Aunt Ann.

More Pictures

Since I heard that some people check the blog EVERY day looking for new Madison pictures I thought I would add a couple more today too......for Grandpa G.

Madison making cookies with her friend Ellie.

We had crab legs and Madison thought that the lemon tasted pretty good by itself. She ate more lemon than crab!
