This is a ride where you drive around, very slowly, on a track. It wasn’t extremely entertaining but the person taking tickets was really funny and congratulated us on being American. (It was the fourth of July).

Above is a bunch of shops in the area where we were looking for a roller coaster. In this area we found a fun house with stuff like flashing lights, moving stairs, shaking bridges, spinning passages and long slides. We hung out in there for a while and then went to go to the roller coaster. The roller coaster went in tunnels very quick. Ellie and I went on it a lot, so we made friends with the wan who worked the breaks. 

Above is Ellie and I on one of our favorite rides. It spun fast in two places. We went on it a few times. Afterwards we went to the aquarium and took a nap on some “Fatboys” (a kind of beanbag). At midnight we watched the illuminatons. There was some music and some cool lights over the river. After that we sleepily walked home.

Mount McLaughlin is in the background of Lake of the Woods in the above photograph. 

In this picture, in the back are Chris and Wendi, who are Conner and Ellie’s parents. Ellie is the girl next to me and Conner is the boy with black hair next to my brother, Ryan. The lady with brown hair next to me is my mom, Linda.

The deck we are sitting on is not ours. Ellie and I had to ask the people who owned it if we could sit on it. They called us the “cute little girls” when they anwsered the door! We wanted to sit on the deck because there was going to be fireworks over the lake soon.

This was one of the fire works we saw on the deck. Under the fire works on the water were police boats that had their lights blinking on and off.

This picture is of another of the many fireworks we saw from the deck. If you think these are great you should have seen the grand finale!
