Today's activities are the main reason that we headed for the Dells. We stopped along the way from Portage to Baraboo at this location that we learned about in class. Its call Dr. Evermore's Forevertron. It is the coolest bunch of junk I have ever seen. It is located next to "Dr. Evermore's" junk yard and he scraps items for his artwork. If you get a chance you should google it. There is this huge contraption that must stand at least 50 feet or more, a yard full or musical animals, little tables and chairs, huge bugs and buildings... all made from scrap metal. It think he got alot of it from the Badger Ordinance that is actually across the street and down the road a bit. I am not sure where it all came from, but I think it is in my top 5 favorite things, if not at least my top 10.
Right around 1100 we got to the Circus museum in Baraboo. It was another one of the stops for school but I am so glad that Kyra got to see it. baby Bella wont remember it but I got her a poster for her room :) If you remember, in July we went to the circus parade in Milwaukee and Kyra was not able to join us because it was Jade's weekend. Well this time she was able to because it was on our weekend. She loved it! She got to dress up and try walking the tight rope and the unicycle. Kaitlynn even tried her tightrope skills as you can see from the pictures. We had to take a lunch break though because we were all pretty crabby, so we left for about an hour. The place we were originally going to go to was to hard to find so we ended up going to this little diner caller Four Star. Which as Kyra plainly and nicely let us know "was not four stars." So what happened was... Mom never gets gravy on anything. Period. So when her chicken and potatoes cam with gravy she let the lady know that it would have to go back because she can't eat it. The woman freaked out and said that mom never said that, ripped the plate out of her hand and stormed off. We just looked at each other speechless for a while before we laughed... because once again you either laugh or you cry. It was right before this point that Kaitlynn was reaching for a glass of water and Dad grabbed her hand quick but in the process knocked another glass all over my lap. I was soaked... It was quite the experience all together. After our incredibly eventful lunch we headed back to the Circus museum to finish up our tour. Dad wasn't feeling the best but he was a trooper and made it through. Lots of breaks to sit down and deal with the cramping but all in all not too bad. (Side note: he is losing his hair now so don't be shocked when you see him.) This too was another day I will never forget... and it gets better...
