Wisconsin Dells--Monday

Up and ate breakfast in the room.  Karen stopped at the desk to ask a question so I gave the kids some money to play some games.  At 9:40 we walked over to get in line to wait for the parks to open.  After how busy yesterday was we were determined to ride some of the things we couldn't before.  We went right to the slides.  We rode the family tube ride and it was fun.  Karen was a little sick because she rode backwards.  Then all of us except Karen did the racing slides.  They were fast and I won.  We hit the huge wave pool.  It was so fun. The kids entertained themselves for hours.  Side note...we talked to a lady that told us there were 30,000 people on Saturday and 20,000 on Sunday at Mt. Olympus.  Someone at the hotel told her that.  We can verify that it was ridiculously crowded.  But still fun.

Winning some tickets.

NO Cameron, don't do it.

The ball they picked out with their tickets and it was ruined 5 minutes later.

Cameron and Brenna going up.

And coming down.

The boys are ready to go.

Racing.  Yes, I won.

Waiting for the wave.

Here it comes.

What a forceful wave.

Underwater fun.

Take 2.

How cute are they?

At 1:30 we went to the room to eat lunch and relax a little bit.  We then ran to Walgreens to get more water and cough medicine for Brenna.  Next was a speed boat ride.  We loaded up on a bus and drove a few minutes away. Unloaded and headed to the dock.  Loaded the boat.  We were in the last row.  At first we were all a little bored. We kept going into a no wake zone and they were giving a history lesson.  Finally driving fast, doing 360's, and stopping fast to make water spray up all over all the people.  The first 5 rows were soaked.  We were only a little wet.  When they were tying up the boat they asked if the back got wet.  We said not really.  The guy grabbed the hose and sprayed us twice.  It was pretty funny.  Back on the bus and back to where we started.  We were going to ride the Army Ducks but we waited around and finally decided to leave.  No one could answer when we were going to get called or how long it would be.

Watch out for Big Foot.

The bus we rode.

Of course we were the last ones on so we were clear in the back.

Karen and I are ready.

On the boat and ready for some action.

Our captain.

All of our friends.

Hang on.

Here comes the water. 

Karen isn't scared.  She is holding her glasses on.

Getting sprayed.

Our "family" photo.

Walking back to the bus.

Big Foot was captured.

We went back to the hotel took a slight break and then went out to ride the giant Trojan go carts.  It was a pretty cool track.  As I was going around the tower of circles Todd called.  I answered but only said "I will have to call you back.". Yep, broke the rule of driving and talking in a go cart.  We called him back as soon as we parked.  The boys hit another roller coaster.

Everyone watching television.

Gavin and Cameron decided to try the Hermes Skyride.  They got suited up and waited their turn.  Once they were called they were hooked up to the wires.  They were lifted up way in the sky and then dropped and they swung back and forth over the wave pool.  They said it was awesome.  They had huge smiles and neither of them screamed.

I think he is thinking...what did I get myself into?

All strapped in and ready.

They are next.

Getting hooked up.

Happy, nervous, excited???

They are way up there.

Swinging by.

Getting brought back to Earth.

HUGE smile.

This is the view of others flying over the pool.

Everyone swam some more.  More slides too.  Gavin and I were tired and headed to the room at 8:00.  He showered and we had some food.  Around 8:30 the rest came back.  Cameron spilled his Gatorade all over his bed on accident.  Luckily there was a pad so it did not get on the mattress.  Everyone was exhausted.  We have had two full, fun days.  Off to bed.

We had to get a picture of the columns.

Lego bricks?
