Vacation 2016, #3 - Bay Beach Wild Life Sanctuary, Green Bay

With the completion of this post, I will have successfully wrapped up the 2016 vacation... finally.

This was the day after our trip to the Green Bay Packers training camp.  We went to Bay Beach area of Green Bay where the have the wild life sanctuary and an old amusement park where you still pay either $.25 or $.50 cents per ride with no admission fee.  It also contains the roller coaster, the Zippin Pippin, that was Elvis Presley's favorite and according to the sign, he rode it 8 days prior to his death... not that that is very significant.

Robby looks pretty much the same as today.

Calebber doesn't!!

Yes,  I, Ted Schmitz, took a picture of a snake skeleton.

This big boy was about 2 feet away from us, behind glass of course, but he was pacing anxiously.

The deer were close enough to pet and feed. We didn't.

But they did!

The boys were NOT happy about walking thru the hundreds of geese that were on the paths hoping for hand-outs.  It probably didn't help that I told them to keep their hands in a fist when you walk by them or else risk getting your fingers bit off.  :-)

Robby posing with a couple of different birds.  I'm surprised I got a good shot because the boy was constantly turning around in an attempt to avoid a sneak attack.

See here?  This is the more common posture...

The boys were amazed at the actual wingspan of the eagle.

It was a fun day with great weather (read that as looming storms...)  and it began to rain right as we left the amusement park.  We drove out of the rain about 3 miles south, so our campground was dry and just as we had left it.
