We took a trip to Wisconsin Dells to spend a few days with my sisters and their families!

We had a blast!

Cabin Weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend with friends up north! We all stayed in cabin together- 10 Adults, 3 of which were pregnant ladies :) & 4 kiddos! It was such a nice weekend. Dave and I now understand why so many Minnesotans disappear for the summer and retreat to their cabins!

An intense game of corn hole!

(Not sure what they really call it here...but at least that's what we called it in Indiana! =)

Mark & James...

Grace got to fish for the first time with David and Jace!

Chilling on the dock!

A very resourceful little guy...

Eli found a place to get a taste of some water! =)

Baby Chicks!

This evening, we headed out to the Schmidt farm to see baby chicks!

Grace enjoyed petting them, but had no interest in holding one... :)

She even got to feed the chicks!

So many chicks!

We loved seeing all those baby chicks! Thanks Schmidt family! :)

Summer Fun!

We had a mild June...but have enjoyed a nice and toasty July! (Just the way we like it! :) Especially after having to endure the endless Minnesota winters!

Grace and Eli love playing out in the pool!

So happy! :)

Lots of splashes!
