Fun Day

Yesterday we had another day off paddling. Everyone was still pretty tired and we had no good whitewater to paddle (The course in Wausau isn't running).

Instead we drove 2 hours south to the town of Wisconsin Dells. It's like a mid-western version of Las Vegas, a town built purely on a theme. Their theme is water parks!! We went to the Worlds biggest water park and rode the worlds longest water coaster. Half the kids also managed to get on the 'scorpions tail' where you start in a tube and free fall into a spiraling drop at huge speed.

Following this we shot down the road to the outlet malls where we got new sunnies, jeans, shoes, shirts, skirts etc.
A quick Taco Bell and then raced back to Wausau as I was out to tea with old friends from the 90's.

This morning we're off to Duluth, we may have to use a pry bar to get the kids out of these luxury rooms. We have 3 days of slalom and river running to look forward to and then a race over the weekend before we start to go our separate ways.
