Wisconsin Fun!!!

The kids I went to Minocqua WI for a few days of fun in the sun with my mom, sister and Aunt and Uncle and cousins. We had a wonderful time, but missed daddy quite a bit. Luke really enjoyed fishing and playing with the worms as seen in the first photo. Jamie's fiance' was great with Luke and Luke loved rough housing with him all 5 days! Between boating, swimming, fishing, jet skiing and "peeing on fish" Luke had a blast and was exhausted when we headed home on Wednesday. Luke thought it was so neat that he could pee in the water, especially when we told him that fish live in the water, so that is where "peeing on fish" came from! Emily enjoyed hanging out in her swing in the shade on the dock while we swam. She didn't dig wearing her life jacket at all, but who can blame her?? She looked so funny in it, as it was as big as her and she could not move her arms at all. She stayed back on shore aloft of the time with one of the adults when we went boating-maybe she will like it better next year? Luke and I went on the tube also, but that didn't turn out so well....we started taking on water so I had to roll the 2 of us off into the water and it was pretty chilly at 10 in the morning! Luke did not go back in the water the rest of the day. All in all the children did really well with having schedules messed up, a 6 1/2 hour car ride and being away from daddy for so long. I am very proud of my 2 little troopers! Here are some more pics from our trip!
