The High Flying Adventures of Lucky and Axel: Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin ~ Part I

WISCONSIN DELLS OR BUST, BABY!

There comes a time in every kid's life when he learns about The Dells...

It's a long drive into the mouth of the beast us Minnesotans know as Wisconsin. This is especially tough for a kid who claims to be allergic to all things PACKER and their CHEESE HEAD fans...

BUT, everyone has to make sacrifices.
WELCOME TO WALLY WORLD

(What if it's closed when we get there?)

Pull in late, with just enough time to check in, play a few vids and terrorize the mammoth resort...

As always, Early to rise. Doesn't mean go directly to the water slides.

They are hungry. They need food. Big Food.

PAUL BUNYAN'S COOK SHANTY

These guys eat their weight in LUMBER JACK breakfast.

Especially AXEL. He can eat like he's bringing home the gold.

LUCKY spots ARMY Boats? Trucks? WHAT????

Seriously trained personnel.

Here to Protect and Serve our beloved Tommy Bartlett...

A real national treasure.

This helicopter freaks Axel's freak out...

While Lieutenant DAN over here is always ready for combat...

America... YOUR WELCOME.

...and that was just standing in line.

Here we are on dry land....

Then WHAM! All of a sudden we are driving in water. WHAT THE...!?!

WHOA! WORLD WAR II FLEET of Duck Boats made in the great state of Michigan.

Flint Michigan.

(I think??? Not really paying any attention.)

Beautiful day to tool about the man-made Lake Denton and Wisconsin River...

Nobody cares about Storybook Garden's anymore...

Not when there isn't any reason to ever leave your mega-resorts like the...

...Chula Vista's and Mt Olympus' and Noah's Archs'...

They can't even give tickets away to the Ski & Sky Show these days.

Not one person milling about the
Exploratory Interactive Science Center/Chinese Restaurant.
(Guess we wouldn't know. Personally, we turned down free tickets and did no milling)

Lucky is completely fascinated with the flipped upside down White House.

Walked through it. Turned out to be a haunted house.

No bigger monster than that guy...

Billy & Obama were abducted by space aliens.
Cigar probing aliens.

The FXs were out of this world. Nothing but quality.

By the way WHITE HOUSE, Thanks for not telling the family with the 2 year old this is a haunted house. Axel was pretty nervous. For the rest of the weekend whenever we drove by, he would shake his head and say, "NO, NO MAMA NO!"
