Cranberries


It was Robert's flex day. We scheduled a tour of the cranberry marsh in Wisconsin Rapids. It was almost a three hour drive up there, but it was a lot of fun watching them harvest the cranberries. Rebekah's favorite part was when we got to walk in the dry cranberry bed.

After the tour we stopped at a Pizza Hut for their lunch buffet. The kids were so excited to be able to eat *in* the restaurant. We all learned a pretty important lesson. The root beer we ordered cost almost as much as the pizza at $16. Ouch! When we got home we went to the store and purchased $16 in root beer and had a taste testing contest to find out which one we liked better: A&W, Mug, or the no-name. A&W won out, but some of us really like the no-name. We even had plenty of 2-liters and cans left over ($16 buys a lot of root beer).

The kids decided that next time we would just get water and then they could all use the money they saved to purchase their own 2-liter of soda. What smarties they are.
