One Last Hurrah!

Summer is coming to an end ... as of tomorrow! We decided to take one last summer family vacation last week and headed up to northern Wisconsin. It was great to get away and relax before the hustle and bustle of school and activities start. The weather was great, it felt so much like fall! We enjoyed beach time, fishing on the lake, lots of nightly walks looking for deer and exploring the area, bonfires and s'mores and creating fun memories! We are hoping to make this a yearly tradition!

Fish # 1 Kynzley was the first one to catch a fish .... she was also the only one to catch anything all day

Fish #2 Bigger than her first! She also hooked a small mouth bass but while trying to get it all the way to the boat it slipped away. Looks like mommy has some good competition!

She kissed both before tossing them back

One morning we enjoyed some wild life at the Wilderness Walk. The kids loved it!

The deer just loved her! They were roaming all over and seemed to find her often for some loving :) #animalwhisperer

After packing up the car, we hit the road and headed over to Minnesota to visit family! Unfortunately, our visit was cut short do the fact that we all felt crumby. Even Francis felt icky - the worst out of all of us actually. The time we did get to spend with everyone was great and the kids, like always, had a great time!

Lucy gave Brutus lots of attention. It was great practice for the pup being around such a little one! He did great and was super patient and shared his toys great ;)

We took a trip out to visit grandma and grandpa's farm before heading home. The kids had so much fun running around and being free!

Side note:

Kynzley was a monkey this year in the summer drama camp of the Jungle Book! The past two years she has really enjoyed being on the stage!
