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 sisters and their families came up to the cabin in August. Jeff and I brought up 4 kids on Thursday so we got to go fishing on Friday. Jeff offered Windmill double scoops for the first fish and the biggest fish of the day.
Odalis got the first fish.

Marcos got the biggest fish... while eating a sandwich.

That was the weekend after the 5th Harry Potter book came out. Marcos was thrilled that Jeff was finished. He had his nose in that book during every dry moment.


Saturday we rented a jetski.

Jeff and Junior pulled tubers and skiiers.

Marcos got up on skis.

The dock start didn't work, but he was up the first try out of the water!

The girls hung out on the pontoon boat.


CHEEEEESE!

Greta played in the sand.


Jack and Isa are buddies!


Junior and Odalis take time to float.

Lola was a fan of the sun in the red floating play pen and with Aunt Kay.


Sunday we got on the boat and went to Adventure Island.



Dawn got to learn how to drive the boat.



Many people tried the rope swing. Jeff showed Junior how it's done.


















Junior caught on fast!

Heide got to be an old pro at it too.

Marcos even earned a few dollars by being brave.



We had been out in the sun so much that even I had to cover up!


Dawn enjoyed watching the kids.

Junior enjoyed watching Dawn flip off the tube! Ha!


Abby missed Lola after she was gone.

A Cousins Weekend

A Cousins Weekend
In June Lola said bye-bye to her siblings for a weekend.


Aunt Lis had built her Lumberjack Lounge for the kids to camp out in.













The kids got to sleep in the tent. I was surprised they stayed out there all night without an adult. Isa said she was so scared she couldn't leave the tent all night.

We spent 10 hours a day on the pontoon boat.

The kids flipped off and had a ball at Adventure Island.

Isa enjoyed driving the boat!
















They taught Abby how to climb the ladder so she could rest.




They played tag and Abby was thrilled to be IT all the time. She was just happy to be part of the gang!
