Wisconsin Dells: Our Cabin

Derrick had a break from school all week, so we had our FIRST family vacation (with just our little family of 4)! We drove 3 hours up to the Wisconsin Dells for a 2-night stay in a cabin. We found a good deal through a time-share sales promotion, but we did NOT buy the timeshare. Dayton and Daphne really enjoyed staying in a fun, new place.

Daphne was especially thrilled to have a big, new bed

She was singing silly songs from a Dora episode


They loved finding acorns ("nuts") outside the cabin;
the kids liked the acorns so much that we brought a bunch home
They found a few small anthills with Daddy
Their new game for the trip: Don't Spill the Beans;
They were also allowed to bring one set of toys each-
Dayton brought his legos, and Daphne brought her littlest petshop set

Video of Magic Tricks;
Derrick taught Dayton and Daphne how to make a nut magically disappear from a hand and reappear in a new location; Dayton really enjoyed practicing magic!

LOL! I love it! Dayton, you did your magic so WELL! Daphne...my love, you stick to your singing career and you will be going places. Where did you guys stay up at the Dells? We really want to go up there sometime, it looks so fun!

I am glad you got to get away for a McKay Family vacation. Let's hope it is the first of many. I love Dayton's magic trick. Daphne looked like she blow dried the bathroom and not her hair!
