So, we went to Wisconsin Dells.

First thing we did was drive there (of course) and I pretty much just stared out the window and listened to my new Train CD (My Private Nation) which my mom got me (<3). A lot of the songs sounds kinda the same but its still good. My sister and I started ot get car sick after a while but I recovered. We stopped at this rest stop where I'd eaten lunch after State. The bathroom had automatic flushing toilets, automatic soap, automatic sinks, and an automatic paper towel dispenser O_o But no automatic door. Odd.

So we got there and my aunt got lost trying to get to the door we were supposed to go in to get to our room, since it was a side door (Its the closest entrance to our room). First thing we did were the duck rides. Ducks are vehicles used in a war, which are 'amphibious' meaning they can go on both land and water. Our tour guide made wise cracks all along the ride which were kinda corny but kept the ride from being a history lesson. The cliffs you pass in the water are found in only 3 other places in the world, and they are gorgeous. I wish I hadn't forgotten my camera, but even a picture couldn't be anywhere near as great as seeing the real thing.

Then we went downtown and ate at Famous Dave's and we waited for at least 45 minutes, and though the food was great, we should've gone to a smaller place. Then we went swimming, which was fun :3

Next day we ate breakfast at... Yargg I can't remember the name but its that one Lumberjack guy with the blue ox, anyway, I wasn't feeling well that morning so I didn't eat much. but I did eat a PANCAKE just so I could say I ate PANCAKES. Came back to the hotel room 'cause I wasn't feeling well and to give our stomachs time to settle. Started watching the movie 'Eye for an Eye' on TV and ended up being there for at least an hour because everyone wanted to know what happens XD

Then we went Go-Karting at Mt. Olympus and my sister was all worried about going alone (There was some rule stating she was too tall to go with someone else) so I tried to get a Go-Kart by her with no luck. There were too rows and mine was let go first, and I shouted to my cousin over the engines to watch Jennifer. I kept an eye out for her but didn't see her. The track was wood and made me bounce like crazy, messing up my vision. I eventually saw Jenn but she was too far back for me to wait for her and she was at the end :-( And when I came in, I didn't hit the brake fast enough and slammed hard into the girl in front of me :x She turned around and gave me dirty look but all I could do was shout 'Sorry!' over the sound of the go-karts.

Then we went to the place across the street which was cheaper and not wood. My aunt was going with my sister and my cousin and I were going alone. There were two rows again, one for two-seat carts and one for one-seats. I needed to get over the row of two to get to the row for one. There was no space between the carts. I was just going to kinda step-leap between to carts, but my foot got caught between the two of them, I tried to get it out but couldn't so I panicked and called to my aunt. She got my foot out and there on my leg there was an area about the size of a quarter that looked like the top layer of skin had been scraped off. It wasn't bleeding, so my aunt's just like, "Just go". So I did, and it seemed like the thing lasted forever, and it was much longer than the Mt. Olympus one. My leg stung a lot and it confused me that it wasn't bleeding. As I approached the area to come in I slowed down plenty, trying not to ram into the cart in front of me like I did before. A young guy working there shouted, "Brake!" and waved his hands for people to slow as they came in. I pressed on the brake, almost to the floor, but it didn't slow down at all and I hit the cart in front of me and the guy gave me a frusterated look. But I hit the brake! Grrr....

I limped out of the place and showed my mom my leg. We went over to a Walgreens type place and got a first aid kit, and we went back to the Hotel and she put Neosporin on it. My aunt suspected it was a burn but I didn't remember feeling something really hot or anything and it seemed more like a cut, even though it wasn't bleeding. Later it turned out to be a burn, because it had all the characteristics of a burn.

My cousins went swimming but I didn't want to go, even though my mom said it would probably be okay, since my leg hurt so much and I was afraid it would sting even more in chlorine. So I stayed and watched TV and my mom stayed with me, and then my cousin, aunt, and sister came back and I fell asleep though I don't remember doing so, and when I woke my mom and aunt were back from the Timeshare condo thing (They were getting discounts and a cheaper room by doing that, and that's what made us come to the Dells in the first place.) and everyone else (My sister and cousin) had also fallen asleep. This was actually kinda convinent for the adults since they were pondering how to keep us occupied while they were gone for those few hours.

Then we went to Ho Chunk cousino and we were stuck in the kids room while my aunt and mom gambled, which is like Chuck E Cheese but without the pizza and all the games work XD, but I wasn't feeling well and my leg hurt so I just sat at one of those race games and watched my sister. She went by a game by me, one where the token slides down and there's a wheel with slots turning and you hope the token gets into a slot that gives a large amount of tickets. She was doing well, and I got more enthusiastic about being there. She gave me my share of tokens and I went by games like that one and my cousin gave us the tickets he'd gotten and pooled together, we had just over 200 tickets, I've never gotten near that many before and this place had better prizes than Chuck E Cheese. I came away with a Glow-in-the-dark Yo-Yo, one of those puzzle pens, and this stretchy squid...thing. That's pretty well.

Next day we ate breakfast at Hoolihans and our waiter had a French accent, muahahaha. People with accents are cool. I told my mom that and she told me people with accents are not cool because her friend Mumoon has an Israeli accent which he doesn't think is very cool because it makes it harder for people to understand him, and look at all the spanish-speakers that are hard to understand because of their accents.

People with accents are still cool.

Then we checked out some other cooler hotels that we think about staying at next time we come, then we went to the Wonder Spot. I believed it was real while I was there, its supposedly an area about 50 feet in diameter, and a house was built in the strongest area. Ignious rock nearby has a slight gravitational pull that makes water run uphill, ect. and has weird effects on some people. But I looked it up on Google and its fake. Darn. Because that'd be cool if it was real XD

Then we went to Wizard Quest, which rocks, even though my feet hurt and I was feeling moody and didn't feel like going and everyone was pressuring me because I'm supposedly a magic expert owning Stellmond and all. Maybe if i was having a better time I would have enjoyed it more, like my cousin did. Its like a Fantasty RPG where you're actually walking around and in it. The backbone of this real-life RPG was computers which get information about your quest by a barcode you scan at stations. You have 'glimmers' which you must gain by answering questions, ect. and you use to free wizards. The main problem was the system was buggy in the way that the clue things didn't always work correctly and the computer kept telling me answers I knew were correct were wrong, but overall it rocked. I hope to check it out next time we go to Wisconsin Dells, right now its only a month or so old so hopefully it'll be less buggy later.

Then we got Fudge. Fudge is good :3

Then we were on our way home, and before we left we stopped at this gas station to get soda, and that's where I found Felipe.
See Felipe )

THE END.
