Wisconsin Dells

 Yesterday we left the Wisconsin Dells. After visiting the Crane Center we checked into our Mount Olympus hotel and got our green wristbands. The green wristbands open the hotel door, our room door, give us admission to the water park, and pay for anything we want to buy. A White Claw, normally a drink in a can worth two dollars, costs $8.75 if you pay via your wristband at the water park. We avoided the extra charges and went swimming in the wave pool. We also used the kiddie slide. Later we waited half an hour to use a yellow slide. We walked up four stories of steps and got into a inflatable raft. We hung on tight as the raft went down the yellow slide taking turns at angles and sliding down to ground level in about one minute. Yes, there was some screaming by me. The next day we arrived at ten a.m. when the park opened. We found a different wave pool. We tubed down a lazy river. We found a pool designed for smaller children and stayed there awhile. We went back to the wave pool before taking showers and getting dressed. We had lunch and left the Wisconsin Dells about 1:30. This is my first trip to the Wisconsin Dells since 1973. Things have changed quite a bit. I feel no need to go back again. We had fun but I see no reason to drive that far to have fun in a waterpark.
