Wisconsin Weekend #1

When we thought we wouldn't be able to return to the beloved lake house we visited with our naighbors and good friends, the Morris family, we decided to take a quick jaunt to another lake in Wisconsin.  We had a ball.  I just love being on a boat.  With the crazy weather this summer, you can hardly tell that we are all at the same beach on the same day in these pics.

These two were diving and Jake was completely amazined and followed them around like the paparazzi.  I have dozens of pictures of these two. 

Love the boat!

Dolphins?  Sharks?  No, fish eating bread. Ahhh the simple things.

Here they are back at the indoor pool at the hotel.  Sooo much swimming this summer!  I love it!

West Virginia Visit

Our good friends, The Styers have a property they own in West Virginia that was passed down to Eric from his father and grandfather. They were there working on it so we went to visit them over the 4^th of July weekend and had a great time. They have a pool and trees and open space. The kids, especially Wyatt, now count this spot as a favorite vacation location. They swam, climbed trees, baked and explored with Grandma Vicky Styer, celebrated Madi’s birthday We celebrated the 4^th with a cookout and fireworks by Luke. It was the most excited I have ever seen Jake about fireworks. He was beyond thrilled that his very own friend was lighting them right there in front of us!
