Third time the charm? The first visit to Wisconsin Dells with the family was lowlighted by a ride on the Ducks. A big vessel took us over land and water and then in the middle of the woods, the young driver stopped this vehicle and made a speech about how he needed cash for his college education. It was an old fashioned hold-up. He passed hit hat around for tips. No, I didn't spit into it.
On the second visit with the family, I broke down and bought myself a fancy camera. No, I didn't know how to use it properly. I took some photos and then left the camera somewhere. I called weekly but either one of patrons or employees now is the proud owner of my camera.
So was I looking forward to the Cougars baseball trip to the Dells? Well, maybe not. That town gives me the willies as maybe it was just built up in the middle of nowhere. It has a little Atlantic City to it with the fudge shops and souvenir stands.
The resort (Chula Vista) was very nice. It was clean and the room was plenty big enough for Brady and me.
The Cougars parents are nice bunch.
It's still interesting the dynamic of a 14-year-old baseball team. All the parents are rooting for their team, but in a year or so, those kids will be competing against each other for spots on the high school team. And maybe things will be different.
Sounds like this third time was much more charming than the previous two!
ReplyDeleteHopefully the same person who snagged my prescription sunglasses off my desk got your camera. It was a minimal prescription (back in the day), and I figure that he or she might not have figured out why they have a headache. And perhaps all of the photos taken on your camera are inexplicably slightly out of focus.
