Wisconsin 2013 Fun - Week 1

What a fun week we had with Uncle Allan and Cousin Oliver and James.  Grandma and Grandpa's house was busy, busy, busy - but so many fun memories were made.

 

One of our many activities was taking the kids to the Wilderness Walk in Hayward. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time checking out all the animals.  I'm relying on Grandma's pictures because her computer isn't letting me download pictures from my camera. 

 

 

All throughout the walk there are coin food despensers to feed the animals.

 

 

Feeding the camel was probably the favorite spot!

 

 

After a fun day in Hayward, we spent all but one day swimming in Loon Lake!

 

Both of the kids love the water! Mister needs to learn that just because he can touch the bottom of the lake by the shore, does not mean he can touch where the bigger kids are playing :o)

 

Leinna- pictures says it all! No fear and let's do it again and again!

 

The one day we didn't go swimming due to on and off again showers during the day- we found ourselves having a blast playing in the "mud" puddle - more like sand puddle! Oh what a mess but oh so much fun!

 

We ended our fun filled week with Lukkas' baptism. Lukkas' godmother Shannon couldn't make the trip from Alaska, so we had her participate via Facetime during the service. With a 3 hour time difference- bless her heart she was ready to go at 6:30am Alaska time.  The service went great and the kids did exceptionally well.  We had a fun picnic at the farm with all our family who could make it.  It was a great afternoon to see everyone.

 

This week will be a little quieter since Uncle Allan and the boys had to head back to South Dakota.  We are looking forward to some golfing, a trip to Shell Lake that has a really nice beach, seeing real fireworks on the 4th of July and celebrating Leinna's 3rd birthday.  Did I say this week was going to be quieter?  Hmmm.... Loving that we are able to spend all this time in Wisconsin!
