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!

Adventure Island

The goal was to sink the surf skate. They put sand on the board and then carried it to deeper water where they would try to make it sink.
They added more and more sand and it became pretty hard to carry.
Teamwork was necessary.
It never did really sink so they eventually resorted to whale rides... with the youngest on the bottom?! Poor Cracker!
That's much better!

Summer Fun!!!

Jeff's mom enjoyed Lisa's homemade Sangria! Refreshing!

She found a way to combine sangria and fishing!

Jeff discovered squirrel tracking!

Lisa built a basketball court from a giant log and a garbage-picked backboard. She taught Jack a few plays that helped when she and Jack took on Jeff and me. Ha!

Grandma and Aunt Lis got a kayak.

Grandpa and Jack were afraid they might have to go rescue Grandma!
