My 28th Birthday!

My birthday was last wednesday...the weekend before Nick and I went to the Wisconsin Dells. We stayed saturday night and spent sunday there also. The kids stayed with my parents. Was nervous about leaving Drake...the last time was in October, but he did great and had fun, even took a nap there on sunday! We stayed at the Polynesian Resort...they have a huge indoor and outdoor waterpark, but we didn't do any of it. What a waste, I know! Saturday we walked around downtown, rode on the Wisconsin Ducks, saw the Tommy Bartlett show and went to HoChunk Casino. The Ducks were alot of fun...when we went in the grassy area we saw a couple deer and a fawn. I told Nick to take a picture...they were so close to us, but he noticed I forgot to put a camera card in. Ugh!! We went further down into an area covered in ferns and wouldn't you know...another deer sitting right in the ferns. Really pretty...of course no picture! After we had to hurry get to the Tommy Bartlett show. I didn't really know what to think...wasn't sure if I would enjoy it much, but it turned out to be great and really entertaining! We went to the last show of the night...they had a water/light show at the end with Proud to Be An American playing...totally made me tear up! I was starving after, so we headed to Pizza Pub. I have to say that they have THE best pizza! We were off the the casino after eating. I'm not much of a gambler, but I figured what the heck, I can bust out a 20 for it tonight! Ha Ha! Lost it of course. Nick played Blackjack and ended up losing. We didn't stay long...it was already late. Got to the hotel, went to bed. At least I TRIED to sleep. I had indigestion really bad from eating pizza so late...we had a ground floor window right next to the exit door and some idiots were outside the window at 2:30 am being loud. I kept thinking they were going to leave, but they finally did about 20 minutes later! Nick of course was sound asleep. I don't know what time I finally got to sleep, but was wide awake at 7!! Needless to say, sunday I was exhausted. After we got ready, we headed downtown to have our picture taken at one of the old time photo places. I hate having my picture taken, but it was alot of fun. We got lunch, did some souvenier shopping for the kids and headed to the outlet mall! Found quite a bit of stuff for Nick, the kids, and the baby. I fell asleep on the way home. We got to my parents at 7pm and they had supper ready for us! Nothing like a home cooked meal! We had a great time and I'm glad we got to spend some time alone before the baby comes. For my actual birthday, we didn't do a whole lot because Xavier had a baseball game...which they won. Nick got me a cake from my favorite place. YUMMY! He also got me a new lens for my camera :) I also got cards and gifts from other thoughtful people :) It was a nice birthday!
