wisconsin vacation

It that wonderful time of year again, vacation! Like last year, we went up to the Dells for a couple days before Minocqua. This time we were joining by Michael, Laura, Iggy and Maeve. To say the kids had a good time is a gross understatement. Biggest lesson learned, never leave Cordelia and Maeve alone.

The weather was nice and hot. Skipping a nap to spend all afternoon at a waterpark was a shock to Coco's system. She kept asking when she could go to bed. Poor baby.


There was extreme love between these four. It deeply concerns me for the teenage and beyond years.








Everytime I tried to get a picture of these two, they turned into Children of the Corn. 

Bea's face. The best.



In Minocqua the weather was alright, but we made the best of it. Anchoring the boat for some swim time.




In between storms we went to a park so that Scott could work his arms on the merry-go-round.


Normally I would be against playing in the sand. But this trip I was all for it during the day. All of the kids seemed so interested this year.

Anything soft and cozy requires a cuddle and picture.






After an early dinner at Lakeside, the kids fed their "scraps" to the fish. It was mass amount of fries and almost an entire chicken finger.

concert in the park

After an early dinner and some playground and splash pad action, we continued our ladies night at the concert in the park. This was modern classical music. Not Bad Blood or Uptown Funk.

Something has happened in the past 24 hours with Bea. She is into doing these "dangerous" moves to show her sister what is not safe. Cordelia is too busy putting on a show for the family with the full picnic spread.




Cordelia is in the moment and gives it her all.

Holy moses!


This is her bow to the crowd.

beach trip to michigan

This summer has been calling for a jump start. And what better way to do that than a day trip to Michigan! We spent the day with cousins at Weko Beach.




Then we headed to New Buffalo for dinner.




Such a perfect way to spend a summer day!

pump it up!

Bea's friend had her birthday party at Pump It Up and invited both girls. Cordelia was thrilled.


Coco sailing down the slide practically yelling freedom.

See this face? That is pure joy while releasing her feet from the pegs and making the party worker support her weight. Very pleased with herself.



Bea tried the wall but was not nearly as into it. 



The whole party crew. They all go to school together except for an older brother. They were so considerate to one another the entire time.
