BIRTHDAY BASH! Part 2: Dan's 30th Birthday

November 12, 2011

For Dan's 30th, we decided to go all out! He is the kind of guy that would be happy with his video games, some friends and Vodka in the basement, having a game night. I know he had some great memories hanging out in the Dells with his friends, so that is where our whole idea with having a birthday party in the Dells stemmed from. He deserves the most memorable birthday, thats for sure!

We are so thankful for those who came out to celebrate with us, it was definitely a birthday to remember!!

Day 1
11.12.2011

Wow, central Wisconsin really got a lot of snow!

Welcome to the Wilderness Resort!


My happy husband

The first ones in our group to be there! Time to swim!!

The Wave Pool

Getting ready for some waves :)

Amanda having a good time!


The featured photographer :)

swimming against the waves

"ROW! ROW! THE GREEKS ARE DYING!"- Dan's quote from a quote lol

They survived... but how about those Greeks??

Um, Korrine... that looks a little scetchy... lol
(She is blowing up Dan's walking cane- a little gift I gave him)



The Condo




The Games, swimming and Fun!
Forced smiles in the middle of gaming... nice try!

Oh, Timmy lol

I swear this is my "little" sister and brother... there is something wrong here... lol

Dan is proud of his surprise cane :) WIN!

OMG, my sister Cassy was beyond annoyed with this grandpa and his granddaughter.
Understandably so, she is like 3!!

Awww... sibs :)

Timmy- guilty of pushing his girl under the waterfall... so not cool...

The best water slide there! Only, I forgot the name...

The first shots of the night!
"Cheers to 30 years!"


Beer pong, let the games begin!

There he goes, playing games!




Things are staring to get a little crazy! lol

Tim and Tammy, quite the beer pong team!

Deep conversations? or Zach trying to recruit a new teammate cause Cassy... well... sucked lol

I love this picture of my sister. Adrobs smiles :)

Me, warming up my "swoosh" technique. Code Red was my "beer".

"CHEESE!!"

The dream teams that concured!
Dan's birthday brownie... its special. I guess I should have bought another box of brownie mix to fill the rest of the pan :)



"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"
PS: the brownie was good after all :)

Right before their "Lemon Drop Shot"


... I guess I forgot to mention that I realized I used Tequila instead of vodka a little too late... SURPRISE!!! hahaha

Day 2

Lazar Tag Time!! It was so much fun! 10 min was all I could pretty much handle lol

Men are suited up and ready for action!

Dan going down another slide.

Amanda shying away from the splash

Ken, coming down like a champ!

The fab 5 who took on the water slide!

He is so proud :)

The whirlpool goes outside!!

Pretty sweet!

The water temp was just right... not too hot and the water level was just below my belly :)

Mmmm... steamy!

Sam and Cassy enjoying the Wave pool

Zach and his Marine swimming against the wave pool

Looks like Dan is about to attack Korrine and Ken!

After the waves

My handsome and happy husband on his happy birthday party :)

Most of us... Timmy and Tammy, they were "shopping" lol

Me double fisting my Kiddie Cocktails with extra syrup!!

Later that night, we went to Ho Chunk! I got scolded for taking a picture of the slots so I took a picture of the hallway next to the slots :)

I was actually pretty excited! We spent and lost $22 but it was fun to play Blackjack and slots :)

He enjoyed that cane... a lot.
WIN!
