Wisconsin Dells

We took a summer trip to Wisconsin during the 1st week of August. Yes, we are traveling again Uncle Jim! Originally, we decided to take the train for the experience. Amtrak has limited service which meant we traveled to Cincinnati for a 1am departure. Arriving at the train station at midnight Amtrak called saying the train hit a tree in West Virginia and would not be arriving on time. Amtrak arranged a private bus to drive us to Chicago which was our final train destination. By 2am it became clear that there was never going to be a train and there was no bus. Mark started driving and drove through the night stopping only after we were in Milwaukee! Heavy rain and construction added to the difficulty of the drive (don't ask me as I fell asleep!). Looking at the bright side, Lauren and Quinten were wonderful-stayed positive and no complaints. I was disappointed as I wanted this experience for Quinten but moved on by morning. We did have a memorable trip to say the least! There are so many pictures and I will attempt to post the ones I think you will enjoy.

Tommy Bartlett ski show. Rather cheesy but the giggles coming from Quinten were priceless.



Lauren and Quinten loved horseback riding. They loved it so much that we went two times. Lauren rode Jett both times and Quinten and mommy rode Elmo and Smoky Joe.



Quinten found a cave at the Dells during the boat ride and the hike.



Quinten awaits teh train that never came!



This does not look as bad as it might appear. We were at the feeding area and Quinten wanted the goat to look at the camera!
