Wisconsin Summer Favorites

We had a great time in Wisconsin in July!  Here are the highlights:

1. We have a favorite spot to get a family photo.  It was closed last Summer so I was thrilled to see the bridge back open this Summer.

2. We ate some meals at this complex.  Something yummy for everyone!  Fletcher and I really enjoyed MACS macaroni and cheese shop.  The portions were big and the mac and cheese was so good.

3. We had a blast making clay art creatures in our down time.

4. A birthday dinner at Hot Rocks.  This restaurant is so fun.  Your side dishes all come out fully cooked and then you cook your meat on the hot rock.  It's fun to cook and eat together.

5. All of the flower combos were beautiful!

6. A jetted jacuzi tub made this guy happy.

7. Arcade + racing + snacks.

8. An afternoon at Ski Hi apple orchard with a flight of apple beer, apple cider donuts and apple cider slushies.  We can't wait to go back in the Fall for some apple picking.  Their petting zoo animals just returned to the farm and were so excited to see people.

9. Kevin and Fletcher were super brave and headed to the zipline course.  They navigated a course through the treetops going platform to platform.  They said it was terrifying and awesome!  Olive, Leo and I went to Paint Your Own Pottery instead of zip lining which was also awesome.

10. Cabana Day!  It was very warm, warmer than usual in July.  We were really thankful for our shaded cabana reservations.  The big kids did the big slides with Kevin.  We lazy rivered.  Ordered fun snacks and played the day away.

11. Camp Social breakfast buffet.  We try to go here once and it never disappoints.  Everythign is so yummy!

12. A little more racing and arcade games.

13. We do a ton of walking all over the resort and big sis was sweet to carry Leo.  He might have also hopped on a luggage rack or two.

14. We ate at Buffalo Phil's where a train delivered all of our food.

15. Kid's club moved to a new location.  It was cool, movies were always playing and there was fresh popcorn.  We loved it!

16. I'm still not over their gorgeous flower beds.

17. The Boat House.  Kevin found us a new restaurant to try on the lake.  It was the best meal we had all week.  Homemade everything and everyone loved their food.

18. If you're ever tempted to plan a trip to Wisconsin, please do!!  It's so much fun!  Comment or message me and I'm happy to give you all the tips.

Have a great weekend!  We're back to school next week.  It's always hard to say goodbye to a really fun Summer.  See you next week :)

Fishing & Shopping

The boys love fishing so much that we have added a fishing expedition to most of our recent trips.  Kevin finds a local fisherman to hire for the day and they provide everything the boys need to fish.  It works out well for all of us.  We drop the boys off at the dock or boat ramp and then we head off to go on our own adventure.

We dropped the boys off at the boat ramp and headed a couple of towns over to Baraboo, Wisconsin.  It's a town we have visited many times.  We have favorite shops, parks and found a few new places to explore.  Leo brought along a book.  We got cheese curds for a snack and had the best day.

Ready for an adventure!  The guys had big hopes of catching big fish on this trip.  They were hoping to get a Sturgeon and a good variety of fish we don't see in Indiana.

Their catches were epic.  I couldn't believe the things they caught with ease.  They loved their fishing guide, too.  They always say their fishing trips are never long enough.

We also snuck away to the outlet mall for some back to school shopping.

Fun for everyone!
