I received two nice surprises over the holidays and both came by mail!
First, THANK YOU KILA -
A goody box filled with all things Wisconsin! A great towel (which will come in handy once swimming lessons start up again on Monday!), a cute magnet, postcards, cool Green Bay Packer football ornament and a Wisconsin Badger's teddy bear which is now displayed on Buttercup's bed. And Dave couldn't put down the Wisconsin Dells Brochure. He was wishing we had such a place near to us, and wondering why we didn't. (Great Wolf Lodge comes close but no cigar by looking at the Dells)
We were very excited! Thanks again Kila. You Rock!!!
Then - after my nagging e-mail to Robin, "Where's my Free Turkey coupon?" she not only responded graciously - but included a gift for the Caboose!
A Birthday plate, baby medicine dispenser, kids shampoo sample, and a kids CD, plus a cute little Calico kids halloween set (which Buttercup had in her hands within minutes).
I've always wanted a Birthday plate for the kids. This one is HUGE! I could put a whole cake on that plate!! It will be used many many times in the coming years!
Awesome Robin. Thanks a lot! We Love you!
How wonderful to get such lovely surprises.

LOL, I thought the Great Wolf Lodge sounded and looked familiar. We have one in Wisconsin Dells!

Pamela, the Dells big opening weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Come on over this summer! Last week of August is probably the least busiest at the Dells, as schools start to reopen. That's my favorite week to go.
Karmyn, glad you received your gifts and enjoyed them :) And I love the birthday plate Robin sent!

The Dells is amazing... we spent a day there last summer on our 17 day excursion to Wisconsin... we don't have anything that comes close.
