This was the night that Andrew told me he loved me; he didn't expect me to say it back, so he kept talking about how much he loved me until I cut him off and said I love you too! About twenty minutes later, Andrew said he wanted to get baptized! One of the most special nights of my life!!

The BEST waterpark I have ever been to!! It was so cold all week, so we saved it for the last day before our flight. We can't wait to go back to this waterpark and spend even more time there. The water slides were unmatched to any other park I have been to, and my favorite activity was the floating/swimable lazy river; it was so fast and fun!!

Highly recommend going while you are in town for something fun to do! Arcade (paid by a cover), bar, and mini golf (extra), but it is super innovative course!

I took Andrew to his first game at Lambeau and made him wear Packers gear. Unfortunately, his Vikings won (but he actually wanted them to lose for better draft pick) so we both lost lol! It was a fun time together and thankfully not too cold!!
