Mt Olympus with Grandma and Julie Aug 19th 2009


A day trip with Grandma and Julie On our way to the Dells we stopped in Montello at the waterfall to feed the Swans.

The birds ate right out of our hands! It was a nice stop to stretch and enjoy the morning.


Here are the fish that ate the bread before the Swans got to it. The kids and Grandma saw a big Cat fish...I was too busy with the camera and missed it.

Here are the two black Swans....they did not come as close to us as the white ones.

When these two opened their wings they exposed lots of white feathers underneath..

BEAUTIFUL


Here is the greedy bird! He snapped at my camera thinking it was another piece of bread! Sassy bird!



Dylan and Rouge on the small coaster...Rouge rode this ride at least 6-7 times!



Dylan and I just got done changing...my head was still on my side!


This picture was the last of me...my cluster headache was in full swing, and I ended up napping on a lawn chair. Thank Goodness for Grandma and Julie, the kids still got to have lots of fun! (Sorry guys-I really wish I would have had more fun with the kids)








Rouge drove like a Nascar driver! Look out world, in 9 years this speed demon will be on the road!





Hmmm...how many years before Rouge will be able to ride all the rides?

On this ride the maximum is the same as most of the minimum.

Dylan was however tall enough for all the rides, and headache or no headache I held true to my word about making Dylan go on the roller coasters. Since I was the only person available to take him, and he has never been on a big one, I took Dylan on the Hades. Climbing all the stairs was almost enough for him! He begged me to let him turn around, but I reminded him a deal is a deal. At the fair I went on the sickening rides that go round and round, and now it was his turn! Once we got on the coaster he was still a little scared, but as soon as it dropped down...:"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!" "THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!"
And as soon as the ride stopped: "I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!"
This was all possible thanks to my Mom, and our Boss Nancy for giving us both the day off to do this! So thank you to both of you! And I'm sorry to everyone that I punked out for most of it. This just means we will have to go back!
Dylan and Rouge LOVED this trip, it has been a long time since the kids got to have a fun day with Grandma.
Maybe next time we will let the men come....
Then again....
