On a short trip to Wisconsin...

Now that school has begun, it's time to post some recent happenings. Like the quick 3-day trip to Wisconsin to celebrate Catherine's birthday (a major milestone one that ended in a zero) and have some fun.
Unfortunately, Kevin had to work and didn't get to go with us. But Lily, the dog, can now recognize when we're getting close to Catherine's house and she gets so excited. Afterall, this is the house where food "falls from the sky". When we arrived, the dog didn't rush to check the smells on the trees left by other dogs--she ran into the house and checked under the kids' chairs for any tasty morsels that had fallen.While Connor was at a tennis class, the rest of us cooled off by wading in the creek.

Later, Catherine taught us how to make cool jewelry.
And on a warm afternoon, the slip-n-slide was fun for big and little kids. All of this was prelude to the next phase--taking Connor and Brenna home with us to Iowa!
