here are the shots from my camera. Sam bought a waterproof camera so that probably has a lot more plus some video, I will post those tomorrow. I manned up and took video and pics while going down a water slide sitting in an inner tube at 35 mph. yea that was interesting.
The yellow slide is the tallest slide at the outdoor portion of the park, of course, I went right up to it and owned it first thing. I was hydroplaning so much by the bottom I thought I was going to flip out of the thing. We also went to an old photography studio from the late 1800's/early 1900s that was owned by a photographer named H.H. Bennett. Very cool stuff and there were a ton of great shots he took of the Dells area, along with a bunch of old cameras, slides, gear etc. Google him if you're curious, very nice photos.
1. Sam sitting at the top of the yellow slide. She eventually manned up and made the plunge.
2. Sam splashing into the pool from one of the smaller, twisty slides.
3. Me hydroplaning like a mother at the bottom of the red slide. You went on your belly laying on a mat.
4. shot of the main tower at the outdoor park
5. me going down the yellow slide. I went down enough slides by this time my back was starting to hurt a little.
6. splash down from a 500 gallon bucket

Erik, Jer, and Chris would like to drink at the last pic. 1 through 5 are old cameras, slides, and photography gear from the H.H. Bennett studio in downtown Wisconsin Dells. Some of the shots were taken through glass so you might see a little glare.

1. I wanted to do the photography place and Sam wanted to go horseback riding, so we did both.
2. We saw this goat at the riding stable, I thought it was fake at first, but nope, it was more than happy to lick you as you walked by.
3. was a creepy looking dude in a fortune telling box that kept yelling stuff at you as you walked by.
4. night time outdoor shot of the resort
5. night time shot of the water garden at the resort. It's a little blurry since I hand held the camera, left my tripod in the car, oops.
