Little Amerricka trip/review

The kids and I went with Joe and Rhonda Scarpelli and Rhonda's grandchildren to Little Amerricka in Marshall Wisconsin. It's a strange little place out in the middle of no where.  Seriously, There is a cemetery on one side of it, what looks like a junkyard on than other, and a stinky farm across the street that made the whole place reek most of the day.  At least while we were down wind from it.  Either we got used to the smell or the wind shifted because by the end of the day it wasn't as bad.  This place is about the size of your local county fair with similar ride and cost is about the same; $36.64 with tax for the "blue ride pass" for both of my kids.  The train was broken down while we were there too, which was a small disappointment to our younger companion (Rhonda's granddaughter, Broklyn (sp?)) who didn't like the bigger faster rides.  Not that there is a whole lot of big rides there.  At least not from my perspective.  That was just fine for Zach who hates big roller coasters.  We went to Great America once and (luckily his ticket was free) found out he was not to keen on the big rides.

Despite the unpleasant odor, we had a great time. 

 Because the roller coasters were smaller and no loopty-loops, Zach actually enjoyed them.  It took awhile to convince him to ride the biggest of the roller coasters, but once he finally did you couldn't get him off.

Sam on the other hand was the first one, along with Faith (Rhonda's other granddaughter) to try it out and they loved it too.

Sam in our adventurer.  She loves action, and trying new things.  Safety first? Pfft.  This "Meteor" roller coaster was nothing compared to the rides she was on at Six Flags Great America that we went to 2 years ago.  In fact, she was annoyed she couldn't go on the bigger rides there because she wasn't tall enough for most.  Can't wait to be able to take her maybe next year when she will be taller and older.  She is going to have a blast.  Zach said, now that he is older, he thinks he will enjoy the bigger roller coasters.  So next school year I plan to have the kids do the reading program to get their free tickets.  Hopefully, we can give Great America another shot.
We ended our Little Amerricka trip with the bumper boats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2kmaq2iGzY
