Bay Beach

This place is probably not new news to you all, but before the weather really crisps up (especially north of us), you really should try to get up to Green Bay for the amusement park, Bay Beach. There is no admission fee, you just buy $.25 tickets to ride the kiddy rides. Our kids absolutely LOVED it. One tip, however, if you have a wiggly toddler, be wary of sending him off on his own on the rides, even with brothers "in charge" of holding on to him. Charles took a little swim on the "boats" until a man jumped the fence and pulled him out (I was running to the gate opening yelling, "oh! oh! oh!"). It was not a nice moment, but I did learn my lesson, at the expense of Charles, poor kid.

One more thing, the food is honestly the most awful food I have ever had. Bring a picnic and spare yourself the heartburn. On the upside, the icees and cotton candy are only $1. Budget fun is so awesome.
