Wisconsin Dells

I wasn't really bothered by trains during the night, but I sure heard them early this morning long before I wanted to be awake.  They seem to come through the area with surprising frequency.  Finally everyone was up and I decided to hop off the top bunk, too (with some help since it's pretty high up).  We showered and ate breakfast, then headed out for some fun in the Dells.  We left the fifth-wheel at the campground and drove our cars through the city, looking for something that  would be open at this time of the year.  Finally we found an indoor adventure center.  My dad got us all wristbands, which let us do anything that we wanted to inside the center.

First up was a couple rides on an indoor ferris wheel.  Then we all went go-karting before Bryn, Ty, and Jonathan decided to try some wall climbing.  After that we headed downstairs to play laser tag.  It was my mum's first time playing and she had a grand time shooting at the many people darting around the darkened room, only to find out at the end that she had her gun turned the wrong direction and had successfully shot herself myriads of times.  For her sake, we played again and she did much better that round.  Next my mum got us to go on a carousel ride and then Ty begged Jonathan and me to go into a kids indoor crawl/play place with him.  We did and realized that they are definitely made for kids, not young adult-sized people.  It was still fun to climb through the area, though.  Finally, we went to play a game on mini-golf.  It was a really cool course, designed like a real golf course, with greens, rough grass areas, and sand traps, which made it pretty challenging.  About halfway through, I somehow got two holes-in-one and a little later my mum decided that whoever won would have to pay for lunch.  I ended up winning somehow (I hardly ever win when I'm playing with Bryn and my dad) so I said that we should go to Taco Bell.  Having done most of the activities in the center, we decided to head off for lunch.

Right across the parking lot from the center was a Cracker Barrel and the rest of the family convinced me to go there for lunch instead of Taco Bell.  I agreed, even though I was really in the mood for some soft tacos.  It was Jonathan's first time ever eating there (which is inconceivable since he went to school in the south for five years) so in the end I was glad we went there.  I really wanted him to experience Cracker Barrel before being back in New England again.  After lunch we drove back to the KOA and loaded up the fifth-wheel.  Now, we're about to leave for Minneapolis where Jonathan's sister lives.  I'll write again when I have Internet.
