Wisconsin Dells

Ben and Karis headed for Wisconsin Dells Friday morning to see her friend Nicki and her family. Nicki's family came up from South Carolina this past week to spend time with their extended family. I joined them after work. Isn't it amazing that a best friend from South Carolina has family in the state where we now live? This picture was taken just after they saw each other for the first time in over 7 months. It's as if they never missed a beat!
This is Nicki with her sister, Lauren. Sad to say that we didn't get many pictures of the girls in the water. They were either blurred or too dark. We stayed at the Wilderness Resort... it has LOTS of indoor and outdoor water parks.
Nicki's family headed back to South Carolina this morning.

This picture was taken as Nicki's family was ready to get in their van.

We went back to the water parks for some more splashing and fun.

Wisonsin Dells has experienced a bad year. This is just an example of the financial strain... this area is usually a lake. The flooding caused the dam to wash out and now it's just a river. You probably saw the house falling into the river on the news. That is close to this spot.

Karis was so tired after playing at the water parks two days in a row. She covered herself up and took a short nap on the way home.
