Any who, it didn't matter that it wasn't hot outside because not only were there outdoor water parks, there were also indoor ones that were heated and I felt like I was in Florida just walking in. It was so nice. But water parks were just a small fraction of the activities there.There are roller coasters, mini golf, go karts, boat tours, magic and water shows, and alligator feeding just to name a few. We spent a couple days at water parks, and did mini golf, went to a deer park where they were just walking around and you could feed them, walked around downtown and got delicious cheese and treats, did a wizard quest (yes we are a nerdy family), and relaxed. Each night 2 families provided dinner and an activity. We did a Bertie Botts jelly bean challenge (If you don't know what that is, you're missing out), doughnut eating contest, and family olympics, which was my favorite!
After our visit to Nauvoo we headed to the Wisconsin Dells for our family reunion. Where, you ask? When you think of somewhere hip and happening, Wisconsin doesn't come to mind. But let me tell you, this place was amazing. I called it the Vegas of waterparks. Apparently its one of the biggest water park meccas in the country. My brother and my parents happened to visit one weekend and loved it. So we rented a few condos overlooking this gorgeous lake. There was a free shuttle service to take us to different water parks. We went the week before Memorial day, because it is a discounted price. Although it wasn't really hot yet, I'm so glad we went during that time. As soon as we were leaving there were hordes of people coming. Many of them already drunk.

I'm so thankful that we are able to get together every couple of years to see each other since we are spread out across the country. I'm so grateful I have parents who always taught us the importance of family and making memories, and that we all are even able to do this with so much help from them. They make it possible. Can't wait till the next reunion!
