Fun at the Lake

We pretty much finished off our trip to Wisconsin with a visit to the lake. The kids had sooo much fun.

hanging out by the dock.

...and last but not least roasting marshmallows.

Hanging out at the beach

We went down to the lake in Racine and took some pictures. Go figure -- the sun came out for that little bit so most of the pictures the kids squinted. They had fun running in and out of the waves and throwing rocks in the water.

Mini Golf & More

We had a lot of fun playing miniature golf at the JMBA. This was so fun for Drew and too funny with Madi as she wanted to know where her golf cart was... That's my girl!

We also went to Chuck E Cheese. Cute picture of Madi, Drew, Marty and Samantha before we went in but the excitement overtook from there or it could have been the keeping track of 9 kiddos... hmmm!!! So needless to say... this is where the pictures stopped! :-)

Helping Grandpa

Grandpa and Drew putting together his bike to ride in Wisconsin. What special times to get to help Grandpa put it together and then to ride around.

Birthday Day!!!

What a fun filled 5th birthday for Madi... We started off at the Rainforest Cafe for an early lunch. Check out that volcano!!!

We found a fun place where we could hold a really big snake and sit with a huge tortoise. No picture posted of the snake since I can't stand looking at it. Yikes! The tortoise was so super cute though.

Next it was off to Fired Up! to paint some pottery with all the cousins. What an exciting day to share with all the family!

And last, but not least was the Princess Party at Grandpa and Grandma's...

Grandma's beautiful cake for Madi and her place setting.

...And of course the whole group!

Tree Time in Wisconsin

The weather was quite cool for July when we made it to Wisconsin. We enjoyed the break from the 105 degree temps. The kids always have fun climbing the huge tree in my parents back yard. We have been climbing this tree since I was little.

Another Birthday Party Part II

At Madi's 5th Birthday party. What a fun time she had with all her friends at the Sprinkler Park!!!
