We planned a family get together for Door County, Wisconsin this summer. Most of my family were able to make it. My brother couldn't come from North Carolina and my step-brother wasn't able to come either. It was fun to see so many people without having to drive all over Wisconsin.
Our original flight ended up getting cancelled a few hours before it left. That led to a hectic few hours at home scrambling to find another flight. Rather than rushing, we decided to fly out the next morning at 5:30am. It wasn't our first preference, obviously, but it worked out well. We flew right into Chicago and the kids were so tired that they napped on the drive to Green Bay that morning.
We drove to Green Bay and stopped at Bay Beach Amusement Park. I've been here once before with Ashton and Tanner. All the rides cost one to three tickets and a ticket is 25 cents. I feel you can't really feel guilty about spending too much here. And the kids have just as much fun as they do at SeaWorld or Schlitterbahn for a fraction of the price.
Tanner's favorite ride was the bumper cars. Ashton loved the big mat slides. Gemma enjoyed the Ferris wheel. Lydia liked all the little rides just for her. I like that the place has rides meant just for the little kids. Adults can't even ride with them on some and I like that.
After spending a couple hours at Bay Beach, we picked up groceries and drove the last hour to our cabin in Door County. Once again, we picked a spot that everyone could stay at. My parents and step-sister brought their RVs, my sister tent-camped, and we rented a cabin all in the same campground. It was really nice that the older kids could just wander around the campground. We didn't have to drive anywhere for meals and to see everyone.
