Another vacation in the Dells

We went to the Dells again - the Wisconsin Dells, that is. Another short family vacation, since both kids' were off on Friday due to their teachers being in a conference. Since it's winter, we looked at staying at a place with a good indoor water park, but not too expensive. John chose the Treasure Island Waterpark and Hotel. The room was a nice size, had two queens plus a sofa bed, plus fridge and microwave. The first night, we had Asia and Zach sleep in the same bed. Some time in the night, Zach woke up with a nightmare or something so John laid next to him. A little while later, Asia started crying. I woke up and found her on the floor, sleeping on a pillow. Zach was in her place and John next to him. I don't know how Asia ended up on the floor without crying when she first landed on the floor. So for the rest of the vacation, Asia slept in the sofabed. She did fall off the sofabed on her last night. There wasn't much we could do there. She's too big for the portable crib yet doesn't know to stay on the bed. Even Zach still falls off the bed occasionally.
Treasure Island has a pretty nice indoor water park, but we were pretty much done with it after a day and a half. The kids aren't old enough to really enjoy the faster water slides. John and Zach went down one of the big water slides many times. Zach is great in the water. He doesn't mind if he gets splashed or goes under for a few seconds. He'll go down the kiddie slides by himself as long as we're there at the bottom for some of the faster kiddie slides that have a big splash at the end. If he sees that we're okay, then he's okay.
Asia, on the other hand, isn't ready for all that. She doesn't like getting splashed, water on her face or head. Zach was like that, too, so I assume she will grow out of the fear. Asia did like just being in the water park and walking around. She also liked the regular pool and this other wave pool where I could hold her. There was also a small part of the main park that had a "river." You would sit in a large inner tube shaped more like a two-hole doughnut. Then just follow the current around. Some parts were a little scary for Asia because when the river flowed under a water slide, you'd get splashed. So Asia would bury her face in my chest. Also, getting in and out of the inner tube wasn't too easy at first when Asia would be clinging to me. Eventually, she'd be okay with me telling her to sit on the steps until I got on the inner tube. And thank goodness for the water park attendants. For the most part, they'd help you in and out or watch you when you come back around the river to see if you wanted out.
There were lifeguards everywhere. They would rotate from station to station. Zach took a liking to one of the lifeguards and at one point, he only wanted to stand next to the lifeguard instead of swimming when Asia and I were in the wave pool.
I also brought my computer so the kids could watch DVD's when there wasn't anything good on cable. There really isn't much on cable for Zach and Asia's age. Besides the ones that the kids like - Dora, Thomas, Bob, Blues Clues - the rest are somewhat vulgar.
