Waukesha, Wisconsin

On our journey to across the US, the next stop was Wisconsin! They gave us five reasons to visit their state. They included the parks, the lakes, the Dells, the famous Milwaukee Art Museum, and Discovery World.  We learned that the Dells is a water park  north of the capital, Madison. They mentioned the top five facts about their home state. They are a Great Lake state, which means that they are one of the eight states that touch the Great Lakes. Did you know that Wisconsin produces more cheese then any other state? They are leading cranberry producers.  (If you visit the Ocean Spray website, you can see some awesome videos of cranberry bogs!) Finally, they are home to the Green Bay Packers, and if you didn’t pay attention to the Superbowl XLV, they won!
    We also learned about some exciting things to do in their state. They familiarized us with the sport of tailgating, or picnicking before Brewer and Packer games.  It is a little warm in Arizona to do that here.  They also like to swim on the lakefront, snowmobile, sled, camp, and ski. Awesome! The last thing we asked them was what they enjoyed to do at recess. They gave us a lesson on how to play King of the Hill on 15-foot snow hills.  That is the conclusion of our adventure to Wisconsin.  See you in New Jersey soon!
