Wisconsin Dells 2023

Our annual trip to the Dells happened again! Liam begins talking about next years trip shortly after getting home from the Dells.

He wasted no time getting up on travel day and is now a great help loading the truck.

Wisconsin Dells is such an interesting place and seeing it through the eyes of an 11 year old makes it even more fun!

I have taken a picture of Liam each trip in front of my favourite ride at Noah’s Ark. it’s the Black Anaconda…a water coaster. Both Liam and Erik don’t understand why I like it so much as they don’t really care for it! I just like it!

Liam’s first visit he was just over the required 48” to ride.

Liam and some new friends who joined the annual picture!

We spent a day and a half at Noah’s ark and a half day at Mount Olympus when the guys spent hours on the go carts and I enjoyed a nice cool relaxing spot in the shade 😊

We spent another day at Circus World in Baraboo.

Another annual picture, Liam is such a good sport!

This is the last season for the Elephants at Circus World, they are retiring and moving to a sanctuary to live out the rest of their lives.

Another Annual picture…Liam can no longer fit his head in the crocodiles mouth!

We almost always have pizza at Moose Jaw in the Dells! We prefer to have a table upstairs though if you don’t ask you get seated in the very crowded noisy lower level….if you prefer a quieter more relaxed setting it’s worth it to ask 😊

Liam put his antlers on as soon as we got to the table and really enjoyed his root beer and pizza!

I was there too!!

We played mini put that night…Erik won but it was a close match! Afterwards another annual picture with Captain Hook.

Sadly it began raining afterwards so our annual DQ and walk downtown didn’t happen this year, there’s always another time.

We drove home along the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River this year with stops in Hasting MN and Stillwater MN before stopping for the night in Hinckley MN….the trip home deserves its own post coming soon.

The Dells (part 4)

Our last at the Dells was spent at Circus World in Baraboo. https://www.circusworldbaraboo.org

The weather was perfect thankfully and we were able to enjoy the show in the big top, tour all of the buildings as well as the outside trapeze act and motorcycle on the tightrope.

When we visited in 2019 there was a tiger show which was not there this time.

The big top performance this year had a pirate theme, it was a fun show to watch that included juggling, trapeze acts, clowning around of course and more.

Liam’s favourite act:

This guy was pretty amazing, you need to see the show yourself as I was watching it myself.
An elephant tricycle…

Here is a link if you are interested in the history and story of this interesting attraction.

Sadly it was time to leave the Dells but we sure had a great time.

We decided to take a different way home in order to show Liam the Mississippi River and enjoy a more scenic route. We spent the night in Winona Minnesota, we have often stopped there to grill as they have a really nice park there.
