Pictures taken at
the Riverside and Great Northern Railway - a kewl little 18 inch wide train museum that
works and has passenger cars that you can ride in. Unfortunately, the steam engine
you see pictured wasn't operating but we did get to ride on the train about a mile and a
half down a track through some Wisconsin wilderness. Melissa and Jacob loved it.

Some pics at
Wisconsin Dells of the Little Chief Go-Cart amusement park. They have over 10 huge
Go-Cart tracks which are all very kewl. Mommy tried to race one with Melissa but she
got a little scared of all the cars and the bumpiness. Oh well... we tried.
Mommy and Daddy had a great time though.

Here's Jacob in one
of his many messy eating moments. Notice how he goes from extremely happy to very
sad in a very short amount of time.

We took
a ride in the Lower Dells on the Original Wisconsin Ducks. The Ducks are World War
II era amphibious vehicles and we had an interesting experience in our first Duck... the
driver stalled the Duck and had a hard time getting it restarted so he took it back to the
start and we all piled into a new Duck. The kids slept most of the way through the
ride but we got some good pictures. :)

We were
in the Dells in the winter so we had to go to an indoor water park. Melissa liked
going down some of the smaller slides but there were so many people that she got scared a
few times so we didn't go down too many. The hotel we stayed at did have an awesome
pool that was pretty much empty while we were there and Melissa loved the slides there.

Daddy,
once again, taking the family out to check out trains. This is the Mid-continent
Railway Museum which is a very short drive from the Dells. These are full sized
trains and they have a lot of equipment on display. They do have a couple operating
steam engines but they were both being repaired while we were there, but we did get to
take a 5 mile ride behind a diesel engine. Lots of kewl pics of some very old train
equipment.

The
last day we were there, we visited the Circus Museum where the Barnum and Bailey circus
first started. They have all kinds of great circus stuff including circus trains,
circus parade equipment, live horses, elephants and other animals and lots and lots of
other good stuff. We were pretty tired by this point and didn't stay too long but
Melissa had a great time on the playground and on a merry-go-round they had elsewhere.
