Wisconsin Part 2

The next day we went to see the city. It took us a total of 2 hours and we did it by foot. So cute and so different from what I am use to. I loved the thunder that we heard as we walked and to see the clouds change so much. Something you don't get to see very often in Southern California. Preston was sick with a fever starting with this day and ending with the last. Poor guy! He got to stay with his Aunt Mary and sleep while we explored.

The last day we were there we went on a pontoon boat and looked at the beautiful surroundings. The world is so GORGEOUS!

Brooke stool my camera during the boat ride and these are the pictures she took. This is her cousin Lauren and man alive did they ever make good friends. Brooke is still asking about Lauren and I am hoping we can get these girls together again soon.

Uncle Todd also treated us to Dairy Queen. He drove his boat right up to it and got some. Preston was still not feeling good but he perked up a little for the ice cream.

We got a few shots of the family all together. I loved everyone I met and I hope we get to see them again sooner rather than later.

Here is Grandma and Grandpa with 7 of the 8 children. What a cute family.

If you eat Sweet Baby Rae BBQ sauce this is the man who made the recipe. He lived across the street from Mary and cooked for us. YUM!!

On the way home. Another long day (we got delayed an hour and a half and didn't get in until 1 am) but it was nice to get to know Grandpa Jim a little bit better. It was such a nice trip and made me really long for family to live close by. Could you all just please come live in California???

Believe me we wished we lived closer! My mom and I were just talking about how we are missing you all and that we wish we could babysit Brooke and Preston. Can’t wait to see you again! Love Cousin Liz
