We started our day out in the Wisconsin Dells. We decided that it was a must to take a Duck Boat ride.
Here is a picture of one of the many Duck Boats they use.

Devin couldn't wait to get the ride started.
Greg & Grandma look excited for this Duck boat ride!

We made it out on the Wisconsin River. We were glad that our Duck boat floated! We made the trip down the river and saw several interesting sites along the way.
The sandstone cliffs are made up of a very soft sandstone. It's so soft you can actually crush it in your hand.
The is called the Preachers Pulpit. The story goes that a local preacher use to tell sermons from this rock to the Indians and locals below in their boats and canoes. The preacher got upset that his congregation kept falling asleep. We went and got a piano to put atop his rock, however that piano fell off the pulpit.

After our duck boat ride, we headed for some putt-putt. It's not a vacation without some putt-putt!
Devin & Tate patiently waiting their turn.
Grandpa & Grandma Wolsing out on the course. I pretty sure Grandpa was the big winner.
Then it was off to lunch. We found a unique restaurant where they deliver your food and drinks on a train. The boys loved this.

After lunch they let the boys "decorate" the train. They each picked out items to place on the trains flat beds. Devin was pointing out the items he put on the train. After lunch, we headed back towards our campground.
We found this free ferry south of the dells. It was the Merrimac ferry and it crossed Lake Wisconsin. We all enjoyed a tasty snack while we waited for the ferry. They served some great ice cream and popcorn.
Grandpa Wolsing and the boys checking out how the ferry worked. The ferry moved along two cables to move back and forth through the water.
We decided to cook dinner over our fire. We opted for chili cheese dogs, fruit, baked beans, and marshmallows.
After dinner there was a lot of bike riding around the campground. Both of the boys really improved their biking skills while we were here. They both became much more confident riders.
Our campsite at Babcock County Park.
It is beautiful, small campground just south of Madison.
