If you like your rides on dry land, then take a Monster truck ride at Monster Truck World, it shouldn’t be missed.

Took 4 grandsons to the Dells for three days. The boys are: 16 1413 & 11. This is our third trip and we stay at Mt Olympus Resort. While Lake Delton in gone the resort was in fine shape.

While the area caters to tourists you still can pick and choose activities without a hassle.Since the room has a refrigerator we bring food for breakfast and lunch snacks and pop to save ... More
