Wisconsin Highlight Reel

I've got one last Wisconsin post for you today.  We spend a week up north every July and it's always a highlight of our summer.  We have been going since before Leo was born.  The weather was a little hotter, a little more humid than usual, but we didn't let that stop us from having a blast.  We did a mix of favorite spots + new spots and somehow we have yet to do everything we want to do up there.  I think that's the mark of an amazing vacation spot!

The pots of flowers all over the property were stunning!

Lots of time on the patio!

Exploring the property with my favorite people.

We went to Circus World museum and circus in Baraboo, WI.  It's where all things circus began and everything around town is circus themed.  The exhibits were all fun to see.

The circus is included in your admission so be sure to time your visit around the circus times.  The show was 90 minutes and we really enjoyed it.  There were lots of different acts.  The jugglers and the cyclists impressed us the most.  Then they all came out at the end to chat with the audience.  It was a sweet small town circus experience.

We had fun shopping at the outlet mall!

The Riverwalk was lovely.  Hot, but lovely!  We normally have pretty mild weather, but our trip was hotter than we are used to in Wisconsin.

We stopped in our favorite apple orchard - Ski Hi.

Lots of days at the water parks at Wilderness Resort.  We love coming up in the Summer when all the outdoor parks are open.

Lots of cheese!

I'm inspired by these giant flower pots filled to the brim with all kinds of flowers.

The weather was perfect for our cabana day!  Kevin rented a cabana at our favorite water park.  It was so nice to have a spot to enjoy a bit of shade, a snack and relax.

Leo loved the bucket drop.  He played here all day.

Big scary drop slides for Kevin and Olive.  The rest of us loved cheering for them.

Fletcher loved the obstacle courses.

We'd go for walks in the evenings to spot bunnies and pretty flowers.

Leo loved collecting "Consin books"/brochures to read about Wisconsin activities.

He loves taking pictures with mascots.

And Olive loved this candy store.  So sweet!

We had a wonderful week in Wisconsin!  We always enjoy heading north because we rarely run into any traffic, the weather is nicer than the Midwest in the summer and we find so many fun things to do.  The 7.5 hour drive goes by pretty quickly especially when you have Leo's silly lizards roaming around the van.  He hid them all over the condo and had so much fun with them all week.
