Largest Muskie in all of WI!

We couldn't go to Hayward without stopping at the fishing museum and seeing the largest muskie in WI.  It was beyond hot that day but the kids didn't seem to mind so we made the best of it.  Cole and Lance caught a fish in the big pond and the other kids ran around most of the time.  It was a good end to the trip.

The three musketeers who finally stood still to get a quick picture.

Had to get a family picture.

Yep, that's one large fish!

The girl cousins loved spending time together!

Camping Time - Hayward!

We went camping with Buddy, Michelle and the kids in Hayward this last weekend.  It was a quick weekend since neither of us took off on Friday, so we jammed a lot into it.  We hung out at the playground, did some mini golf, the kids played on the bouncing pillow, we used the pool (which was very cold), made s'mores and at times dealt with mini tantrums with three 3 year olds.  It was a mixture of chaos and fun and I love that the girls spend so much time with their cousins.

Maddyx loved the swings!!

Bailee couldn't get enough of the slide.

Aftin driving...Not sure about this.

The kids loved the bouncing pillow until it got too bouncy.

Bailee was saying choo, choo while driving the train.

Hanging out with Kennedy on the giant spider web.

We got ice cream and each kid was showing off their blue tongues.  you can see Cole and Ryan in the background on a ride too.

Alexis showing off her teeth.

Time at the pool.



Bailee was very proud of how blue her tongue got.



A Day at the Cabin!

The same weekend as the Breath of Hope 5k we headed to the cabin to enjoy some lake time.  The kids had so much fun on the hotdog tube that Papa got them and Lance spent the majority of the time on the jet ski with all the kids.  It was beautiful weather and I loved relaxing in the sun.  Gotta soak up as much of summer as possible.

She literally wore this buffalo wild wings hat all day, including nap time.

Maddyx and Bailee spent a lot of time biking around the deck.

Breath of Hope - Team Grizzly and Darwin's Defenders

We joined our family and friends to run and walk the Breath of Hope lung cancer 5k this last weekend around Lake Calhoun.  We participated in support/honor of both Grampie (Grizzly) and our friend Darwin.  I was so proud of the amount of people I saw supporting such a wonderful cause.  Plus the weather was awesome for running.  I am looking forward to it next year.

Ox Cart Days

 We went down to Ox Cart days on Friday night to check out the festivities.  The girls got to play on the playground while we waited for the bouncy houses.  It was fun until we found out that the girls only got 4 minutes in the bounce house and then it was tantrum city.  So I don't have many pictures because the girls were a hot mess by the time we left.
