Yesterday, we spent almost all day at the water park at the campground and played mini-golf. Today, we went to ride the “Original Wisconsin Ducks” at Wisconsin Dells. Did you know that they can go on water and land? It was very cold in the morning, but in the afternoon, it got hot (and we were wearing jeans). The duck was like a tour bus on the land, but on the water, it was bumpy when we went over rocks. Our duck driver showed us a lot of things. One of those things was a rock that looked like a piano. The story about it said it was thrown off of the small hill. Then she also showed us a house that was owned by a friend of Abraham Lincoln, and Lincoln stayed there sometimes. One of the people that owned the house traveled around the world, and she collected so many pictures that the inside of the house is worth over two million dollars. Once we were done with the water, we wet back on the land and our duck driver told us about the safety. She said they put up steel webbing along the side of the trail for safety. It was really only chicken wire. She said the man at the hardware store said that it could hold back a chicken, so why couldn’t it hold back a duck? When we were done there, we went souvenir shopping. One of the places we stopped was another duck place where they had the Army Ducks. Grandpa bought us two soft pretzels. When we got back to the campground, Sis took me to the campground water park. It is really cool. I got one magnet, 10 postcards, 1 T-shirt, and one keychain flashlight.
