Wisconsin Dells & Paul Bunyan’s Axe | The Kids Are In Bed Ep 44

Hey everyone! Welcome back to The Kids Are in Bed podcast. In this episode, Jenni and I dive into our action-packed Thanksgiving weekend in the Wisconsin Dells, and we can’t wait to share all the laughs, mishaps, and memorable moments with you.

What We Covered in This Episode:

  • Wisconsin Dells Getaway: We spent four incredible days at the Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells. From conquering multiple indoor water parks to navigating the sprawling resort, we share our tips on how to make the most of your stay without breaking the bank. Spoiler alert: We found clever ways to save money on food and arcade games!
  • Family Fun and Challenges: The kids had a blast, but not without a few hiccups. We talk about Clementine’s creative “Would You Rather” questions, her almost-epic meltdown over water slide restrictions, and how we managed to keep everyone entertained during long walks across the resort.
  • Gopher Football Triumph: We attended the Minnesota Gophers vs. Wisconsin Badgers game at Camp Randall Stadium, and let me tell you, it was a game to remember! We discuss the thrilling victory, the history behind Paul Bunyan’s Axe rivalry, and our firsthand experience of the game’s electric atmosphere—even in the chilly weather.
  • Road Trip Anecdotes: The journey itself was half the fun. From Clementine’s hilarious reaction to Wisconsin’s countryside aromas to an unexpected race that led to a minor phone mishap, we recount the moments that made our trip unforgettable.
  • Holiday Preparations and Movie Reviews: Back home, we jumped into the festive spirit with Christmas decorations and some holiday baking. We also share our candid thoughts on the new “Moana” movie sequel and a Christmas film that… well, let’s just say it didn’t make our must-watch list.

Hot Dog Fingers & A Vasectomy | The Kids Are In Bed Ep 36

This week, Tim and Jenni kick off the podcast by discussing Tim’s recent 40th birthday and the Golden Gopher football victory over USC this past weekend. From there, the pair jump into the year 2022. They recap some of the year’s biggest stories: Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were in court, and so much more. They talked briefly about movies from the year and played their movie games before diving into what was happening for them in 2022. Tim relives his vasectomy; they talk about their trip to Florida and eat all of the Little Debbie snack cakes they could find. 2022 was a good year, but is it the best of their 25 years together?
