Bay Beach

So - we found something we should have found a long time ago. On Wednesday (my last day of summer) the kids and I went up to Bay Beach amusement park in Green Bay with Jacob's friend Dominic, his mom, and his brother Evan. It's free to get in, and then the rides are either $0.25 or $0.50 each (almost all the little kids rides were a quarter. Three hours and ice cream cones for all - less than $10 total.

Here's Allison - not having any resemblance to the ride itself.....


Most of the little kid rides were variations on a theme. Central pivot point, circular motion, arm attached to .... ladybug, car, fire engine, bomber, caterpillar, boat, etc.



The big kid rides we avoided because they were things that spun (teacups and the like). There was a giant slide, Allison and I went together and she didn't like it that much. There were also bumper cars, but Allison and Jacob were not interested. Next year (?) there will be a roller coaster.



We waited a LONG time to ride the train, which was very anticlimactic. There was also a Merry-Go-Round, which Allison loved. Since I bought $15 in tickets, and we spent less than $10 - I guess we'll just have to go back.
