When visiting Green Bay in the summer, I highly recommend this FUN little amusement park tucked away by the Bay. They rides are cheap, short lines, cotton candy, blue slushies and other snacks or food are all pretty inexpensive as well. They have a HUGE slide (that I failed to take pictures of - but K, J, M , M and Little G had lot's of fun on it!) Rides for younger and older. And much to the girls delight, PONY rides!
The first ride they went on was the merry-go-round. We thought little G was having a great time, until we say the tears. He became more brave as the rides went on. But mostly he was content to sit in the stroller, drink his blue slushie and watch. It was fun for me to see the pink bunny and the rainbow striped zebra they always were my favorites to ride when I was little.
THEN of course the TRAIN that rides along the bay. When it's HOT you can't beat cooling off on this relaxing ride.
WOO-HOO!!!! Miss M was TALL enough to ride the swings! Which I believe they rode a couple of times. She LOVED it, and later on, when I needed her to help with Little G on rides, she was a bit disappointed when Jesica and Morgan went to ride the swings (with out her) BUT lucky for her, Jesica and Morgan held her a place in line and she was able to ride the swings yet again .
While the 'biggers' were riding the swings, Miss A and I headed to the race track where she was first in line and was able to pick her PURPLE car! She learned that if she moved the stirring wheel she could make her car go in and out.
After going AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND Miss A was a little dizzy and feeling a little "urpy" so she stayed on the ground with Little G while the others went UP - UP - UP in their Helicopters. Keenan joined Miss M and Morgan on this fun ride.
And here is little G totally content to eat, drink and be merry.
our favorite quote of the day was by Miss A - "Daddy look at my little ponies! They are like my little pony underwear!" Miss A and Miss M had lot's of fun riding those little ponies. Miss M got the biggest one and was the leader of the pack.
And here were the last rides we got on camera before the battery died. Keenan and I both have pictures of us when we were little riding in lady bugs. The cool thing - these are the little lady bugs I rode in! Little G LOVED the boat ride and kept standing up and going "oooooh, oooohhh" and pointing. Miss M LOVED the bumper cars too.So when next planning a weekend get-a-way we recommend Bay Beach, in Green Bay, WI.
*also in the same area is Wild Life Sanctuary, home to rescued wild animals and migrating geese and ducks you can feed the geese/ducks year round. And Kastle Park which has race cars, bumper boats and mini golf.
