True confessions - I have misplaced the flashdrive with our vacation pictures.  2nd confession - we didn't get that great of pictures anyway.  I might find them soon, but it really isn't a top priority - so here you go.

Wisconsin Dells - July 2014 - without the personal photos (at least for now)

We stayed in NE Iowa on our way to the Dells.  Our accommodations do not deserve a picture, but here is the river we canoed.  If it doesn't look scary - it should - I got stuck on a tree, and under a tree and Ken had to yell "duck" more than once as we crashed into the side of the river.  Lesson - don't canoe a river, especially a fast flowing river.  (Yellow river is located in the only part of Iowa that isn't flat.)  We should have waited and canoed at Devil's Lake - which despite its name was quite calm.

We stayed at Wilderness Lodge - did you know Wisconsin is the water park capital of the USA?  (I am not sure that is official)  It was interesting to note that Anna had the best time swimming at our [normal] hotel pool where we stayed the last night....I think because it wasn't crowded and she got to swim for a long time.....funny when you look at the other places she swam.

Tommy Bartlett Show - something Ken saw as a child and wanted the kids to see.  It was pretty amazing.

Here is a picture of Devil's lake - we also should have waited to fish here, as fishing on Yellow lake was unsuccessful and we noticed people catching while we hiked around Devil's Lake and climbed rocks (not this one)

 Last, but not least, we road in a DUCK ("amphibious land and water tour") .  Ken did this as a kid too, it was pretty cool...the littles got to steer a bit.  It was a pretty tour.
