Never would have guessed!

I never would have guessed that Wisconsin would be one of our favorite vacation spots but it is!  It is gorgeous in the summer, the weather is fantastic and what really makes it is the amazing people that we get to spend time with when we are there!!

Brayden adores Joshua!  He wants to be just like him and copies everything he does!

Who knew a fan could be so much fun!

We went through a lot of cereal with this crew!!

Last summer we helped them purchase a Fiat, this year it was two pianos!!

I hate saying goodbye

 And we were on the road again 

And when the drive is that long and there is no gas station in sight, you gotta do what you gotta do!

Warrior Dash

We got to cheer Brandon on as he participated in the Warrior Dash!!

Tourists

We toured a few spots in Minnesota including a Cathedral 

The Capital Building

An outdoor festival

And an amazing mansion

Beat the heat

  The summer weather in Wisconsin is usually very pleasant but we of course ended up visiting during record breaking temps.  Several days in a row the temp approached 115!!!!  So the best place to beat the heat was at Perch lake.  Sand + water + good friends = tons of fun!!!

We finished up with a trip to the Ice Cream store

Somewhere along the way Madyson lost her shoes and the only thing we had in the car were Austin's golf shoes.  I think she was a bit tired and not very fond of being photographed!
