Happy New Year!

This year we went to Timber Ridge Lodge in Lake Geneva WI for New Years Eve.  My parents very graciously took our family for some fun at the water park and on the slopes.


On our way up we stopped at the Brat Stop
Upon entering this is what we saw.

Our NYE dinner was at the Grand Cafe.  It was buffet style and featured crab legs, roast beef, salmon, shrimp, cheeses, salads and desserts.  It was an amazing spread.  The kids both tried crab meat for the first time and loved it.

We walked around the Grand Geneva to see all the decorations.  It was beautiful.  Here is Goose in front of the display for the spa.  We thought it was so "her."

Timber Ridge had a NYE party geared for families.  The party started at 7:30 in the water park.  They had a D.J. and games while the kids swam and had a blast.  Then at 11 p.m. they had a beach ball drop and sparkling juice toast.  The kids had so much fun.  Bubba hardly made it to 11 but Goose was ready to party in the new year.

On NYD the kids went skiing for the first time.  It was freezing out so we weren't sure how it was going to go.  The lesson was for an hour and a half.  Bubba did awesome.  He stayed the whole time and went down the hill at least 4 times.  

Goose didn't like it as much so she came in after going down the hill one time.





It was a great weekend and a great way to ring in 2011! The kids tried new things and had a blast swimming.  Goose tried clams at dinner New Years day and really enjoyed them (the girl has great taste.) Bubba went down a pretty big water slide for the first time and loved it. Both kids tried skiing and we were so proud of both of them.  Thanks grandma and papi for a great weekend get away!
