Green Bay, Wisconsin

This summer our group took their first ever trip to the "Frozen Tundra" better known as Green Bay, WI. It sounds like they had a blast and saw lots of neat things.

 Our trip started with a trip to Lambeau Field where we were able to go on a Stadium Tour! We saw the behind the scenes stuff as well as some of the fancy "boxes" that people pay mega dollars for!  


Our whole crew on Lambeau Field

While we were at Lambeau we also did the Hall of Fame tour.This showed the history of the Green Bay Packers and their start up as the A.C.M.E Packers to where they are today. We even got to visit the trophy room!


 We also visited the National Railroad Museum. It was something we all really enjoyed!


Another highlight from our trip was our visit to the Green Bay New Zoo. We got to get really close to the animals which was pretty exciting! Everyone had a great time there and especially loved feeding the giraffes. All and all our vacation was a great experience had by all. We can't wait to go back in the future!

Memphis, TN

Our first day in Memphis started with a delicious breakfast at the hotel, then it was off to the Memphis Zoo! After seeing all of the amazing animals, we checked out the gift shop. We soon got tired of shopping and our stomachs were growling so we went to Kooky Canucks for supper.

The next day we explored Graceland, and took an audio tour. It was very interesting to learn about Elvis and his music! After an amazing pizza dinner, we headed back to the hotel and rested up for our final day of vacation.

Our last full day of vacation started bright and early with breakfast at Cockadoos. Then, we saw the Rock and Soul Museum where we got to wear headsets as we learned about musicians who started out in Memphis!

Our last day in Memphis came fast, much to everybody's dismay. We stopped at the Firefighter Museum, where everyone got to try their hands at putting out a virtual fire. Overall, the trip was a blast but we were all happy to get home!

Wisconsin Dells

Our trip to the Wisconsin Dells started off a little rocky, with lots of detours and traffic jams. But we finally made it to the beautiful Dells! After we unpacked, we headed to the amazing Tommy Bartlett Show, where we saw a man jump through fire on water-skis.

The next day we visited Noah's Ark Waterpark. After a fun day filled with water, sun, and great food, we ventured back to our hotel where we rested up for another exciting day.

Next on the agenda was the House on the Rock, which had so many amazing rooms! We all enjoyed the Infinity Room, even though it made us nervous. We also got the opportunity to see a giant octopus whale, a butterfly room, a circus room, and a ton of cool lights.

Our final day was an exciting one! We stopped in Wabasha, MN and visited the place where the movie Grumpy Old Men was filmed. Then, we learned about our national bird at the National Eagle Center. Once we arrived home, we were all anxious to see our friends and family, and to sleep in our own beds!
