Ice Castles and Mt. Olympus = One Awesome Weekend!

We just got back from a wonderful night in the Dells.
We met Courtney, Paul, and the girls at the Ice Castles and toured them first.
What a fun experience!  
The girls loved all the caves that they were able to crawl through.





After the Ice Castles, we ate a late dinner at the Moose Jaw which is never a disappointment.
We were staying at Mt. Olympus for the first time.  I had heard mixed reviews on it, so was not sure what to expect, but the price was right.
With our stay at Mt. Olympus we received free admission to the Top Secret upside down house.  All of us have driven by that attraction many times, always rather intrigued with it.  Well, now we had our chance to see what was inside, for free!
Well, all I will say is that it was worth the price of admission.
We spent maybe 15 minutes in there and couldn't figure out what it was we just saw.
Craziness all around.


After that exciting tour of the Top Secret house, we checked into Mt. Olympus and enjoyed time in the indoor theme park, arcade, and the waterpark.  
I did quickly remember why we are not really waterpark people, but all in all, it was a good experience, especially in the lazy river.


 I am teaching the girls the fine art of Deal or No Deal here.
 Soliana won this big ball in a claw machine on her first try.  She was so proud.

 Lazy River fun, our only photo from the waterpark.
After the waterpark, we enjoyed some down time in our room
We loved the accommodations, especially the bunk beds for the girls.

It was a pretty early night for all of us after a fun filled day.

On Sunday, we did more in the arcade and the theme park.
John ran into an old high school friend who he has not seen for 45 years, but thanks to FB they found each other here.
It really is a small world out there.
After we checked out, we headed downtown because you really can't do the Dells without a stop downtown.
We found ourselves in an old time photo place where the girls had their photo taken in 50's costumes.  It turned out so cute!  
Following a fun lunch at the Dells Distillery, we headed for home.
Super bowl is on tonight, don't really care who wins.
What a memory making weekend for us again!
