Our Vacation

We are home now, and I am FINALLY not tired anymore. Driving (or in my case riding since Steve did the majority of it) is exhausting.
The drive out there was long and boring, only one stop over that was only for the purpose of sleeping.

We spent the first few days with the Juedes family, playing Star Wars and watching Jake at his karate lessons.


Then we went to summmerfest (both of us forgot our cameras) where we got to see one of our favorite musicians. It was crazy busy! But, not as elbow to elbow as I was expecting.

The baseball game with Ben and Olivia was definitely a highlight of the trip. The kids are great, they are so much fun. It makes it really hard to leave.



Off to the cottage at Lake Alpine. We did a lot of canoeing with the kids and were able to meet up with a large group (18 of us) of Steve's family at their favorite restaurant.



We also got a chance to do some random hikes here and there throughout our time in WI.




On the way home, we stopped in Yellowstone. It was a good day, excluding the swarm of mosquitoes attacking me and the sunburn. Steve managed to leave the park with only a few bug bites. I was a mess however.




Steve bought Lucas a matching Brewers shirt. They are adorable!
