My parents took us up to the lake for a few days. There were record highs around the state, so it was great to be near water. It was fun, relaxing, and peaceful.Gabe ready for the beach.
Olivia and I went tubing. This is before the white-capped waves drowned us. There were a few tears, but we made it :)
Grandma and the kids ready to go boating.
I can still get up! It has been a few years...
Hotdog roast.
Papa teaching Olivia how to cast her Dora fishing pole.
The "Larage." Holly and I started affectionately calling my parents' cabin the larage, a combo of lake home and garage. It's funny to me, because it's really nice inside, with two bedrooms, a kitchen, bath, and living room. But it's also a garage on one end.
Water play on the cement. So proud he can stand.
Lounging in the ladybug.
Ready to boat!
She wanted to go by herself, but we're glad I went with her!

The team all hitched up and ready to go!
Uncle Rod was up to visit--it was nice to spend some time with him too!
Olivia would like to "train" MayBelle to be obedient and nice.
A trip to Culver's. This is WI's version of CA's In 'N Out and the East Coast's Chick-fil-A.
My dad fed Gabe some custard. The next picture explains a lot.
