Monday July 13:

We said goodbye to the Wisconsin family and grabbed Duncan Donuts on the way out of town.

We Drove to Wisconsin Dells, population 2678, tourist town. We checked in at the Mt. Olympus Rome Village and got our wristbands for the theme park/ water park. We found the kid rides first:

Then we found the WAVE POOL – a giant wave every minute-ish – our kids loved it and it was a great escape from the humidity:

We took a dinner/thunder storm break in the late afternoon:

The kids loved having Aunt Shannon with us. We really couldn’t have done the theme park without her. Even with her we were still outnumbered – A LOT. One of us needed to stay with Tiago at all times – so that left 3 kids for each of the other 2 adults and all of our kids are shorties so they needed an adult to ride with them for all of the go carts. Anyway, Shannon was fun and helpful and we loved that she came with us.

Benji was the only one tall enough to ride the roller coasters so we all took turns taking him and standing in the long ride lines. The Roller Coasters were all wooden and shaky and fun.

Tiago was a champ – he did great being out and about. And did I mention that we needed Shannon there 🙂

The Hotel gave us a bad room key and couldn’t fix it so they upgraded our room and the kids all ended up with their own beds.

Luckily the park closed at 10pm and we were able to get some sleep.
