Jack and Isa visit the Wildlife Park

Isa stayed with us for the week. It was chilly and rainy so we decided to spend a day in Minoqua at the Wildlife Park.

They watched the muskie swim for a long time.

Isa loves BACON!

We got to learn about coyotes.

Isa's FAVORITE part of the day was holding the bunnies. We held the bunnies, went to see other animals and came back for more bunny time.

Jack didn't mind them either.

But he liked the bears...

They got to feed this tough guy.

Isa could barely reach but she got there.

The deer were a little more hesitant this year.

After the park we went out for dinner. Can you guess where we went?

Then to Oswalds for Hot Cheetos! The kids' favorite!

My Family for a Fun Weekend

My family came for a visit at the end of June. 15 people in one house and everyone had fun! Karen, Marcos, Jack and I rode up on Thursday with Dad.

Dawn's family arrived Thursday night and we had a great day on the boat on Friday. Odalis had fun helping Lola learn to swim!

Dad and me on the boat.

Aunt Kay and Isa.

Isa insisted on having her protective eyewear on just like Aunt Kay.

Lola and Uncle Charlie.

Heide, Greta, Daniel and Miette arrived on Friday evening. Saturday was a bit chilly but we went on the water anyway.

Lola and I stayed warm!

We borrowed Oz's boat. The kids (and adults) had a GREAT time tubing despite the RAIN!!!

The boys hammin it up while the girls hang on for dear life.

My dad even went for a ride! ... No tubing for him though. Maybe next time. :)

Jeff, Junior (the waving hand), Greta, Isa, and Odalis on the boat with Jack and Marcos on the tube.

Aunt Kay went for a spin too! She had a blast! Although I think her bruises are still healing from her flight. And I think she saved her swim trunks from coming off completely!

The Kids (...except for Lola... She wasn't feeling photogenic at the moment.)

Us girls and our dad!

I love having everyone up! On Sunday Dawn and Heide went strawberry picking with Jeff's mom. Mounds of strawberries were consumed before departure Sunday afternoon. What a great weekend!
