We just returned from an amazing, 9-day vacation in Wisconsin. Peter's brother, Tim, rented beautiful vacation homes for everyone to stay in. He also rented a pontoon boat. The week was FULL of fun and relaxtion. We fished, made campfires, read, swam, ate smores, golfed, played tons of games, went on boat rides, built a huge sand creation, walked, celebrated birthdays, gave the girls manicures, learned how to crochet, played bocce ball, napped, went on a scavenger hunt, saw an eagle catch a fish, dissected a fish, baked cookies and brownies, and ate and ate and ate! We really enjoyed getting to spend so much time with our family who we do not see very often. Peter, McKenzie, and I took a side trip to Park Falls to see where my grandparents were born and went to school. We even met a couple of people who remembered my Grandpa! We returned back to Milwaukee on Friday and went to the Brewers game that night. The kids finished the trip by swimming in Aunt Margaret and Uncle Ed's pool. The kids' favorite part of the trip was fishing, getting to drive the boat, and spending time with everyone. It definitely was a trip of a lifetime!
