This summer I decided to do Eastside volleyball club with Kelsey, Sophie, and Emily. My team decided to go to Wisconsin Dells for a volleyball tournament. We all stayed at a hotel with a great water park in it called Chula Vista, which isn't that popular but it was fun. Chula Vista was fun because they had many fun and big slides that I did with my team. Everyone also got to play volleyball in a big dome. I'm pretty sure everyone on our team had fun. The first night, I got there at about 6:00
more than bravery will (James Stephens). On my first vacation to Wisconsin Dells in the winter of twenty-twelve, I went on an obstacle course that was above a blinding arcade. Walking across the different ledges and ropes was terrifying, but I did not let that stop me from trying. Now I know fear is not something that should hold me back, but something to push me forward. It is the last day of my family vacation at Wisconsin Dells, and we decide to go on an obstacle course. The course is on the third
vacation to Wisconsin Dells. With 24 people sleeping underneath the large, green-shingled, and log cabin roof arguments were bound to transpire. Along with arguing, we would run out of pizza, and someone always seemed to bang his or her head or fall. While no major injuries ever occurred or at the Dells, our idiotic jokes showed the true love and meaning of family. Besides this summer trip, the only time the entire family was together again was holidays. Something special was always at the Dells, but for
Wisconsin is a state rich with culture, with each and every culture celebrated. One of the most important cultures within Wisconsin is the Native American culture.

There are several tribes present in Wisconsin besides the Ojibwe: the Menominee, Ho-Chunk, and Potawatomi tribes. The Menominee, or “wild rice people,” are the original inhabitants

They can weigh 30 pounds or more in summer but their weight drops dramatically during the lean months of winter. Porcupines live in the northern two-thirds of the state in a territory that extends in a V-shape from about the Ellsworth area in Pierce County down to Wisconsin Dells and back up toward Green Bay.

Simply stated, the financial accountant is the number cruncher while the managerial accountant is the analyzer. However, it is not that simple. Most experts are fairly consistent with their definitions of what the financial accounting entails, however, defining managerial accounting appears to be opinion dependent.

Research Project My choice selection between the two computers was the Dell laptop. I currently own a desktop computer, which I use quite frequently, but sometimes I wish I can pick it up and take it wherever I go. The laptop is light, portable, and great for traveling. Although the laptop is more expensive than the desktop, I think it’s worth the higher price for the simple fact that it’s portable.# The category that I chose was the Multimedia/Video. In choosing the laptop and the multimedia category

Dell's online sales channel has proven so successful, says Allen that the computer industry must ask: "Does the consumer need to go to the store to buy a PC anymore?"

When we think of zoos many people think of a fun place where you go to look at exotic animals with friends or family. Although, this is true, there is much more to zoos then the average person might believe. If one explores further and thinks harder about what a zoo really is, one might come to conclusion that it is in fact an informal learning space.

As we drive into our property we see fresh deer tracks and my heart starts pumping, I have been away from Wisconsin for a few months and this morning is the first time I entered these woods since September. A few hundred yards into the woods we jump three deer walking the road. They bound off into the darkness in flashes of brown silhouetted by snow. We park.
