Teddy Bear Park

A few weeks ago Lilly, Macey and I headed to Teddy Bear Park in Stillwater with a friend of mine and her two little girls. We had never been to that park, and I must say, it's awesome! I definitely think we will be visiting that park again this summer because we didn't have a whole lot of time that day.

Macey wasn't too thrilled to get her picture taken at this time, as you can see, but I wanted at least one of all of us.

Here is my mom with her sisters and her cousin. L to R: Betty, Penny, Vivian, Terry and my mom.

Family Reunion

Above is all of the kids at the reunion. Lilly is the youngest and the oldest is 18.

The beautiful cheesecake that my cousin Kari had made at the bakery she works at...It was to die for!

The kids enjoying the cookout.

Macey had a blast swimming and probably could have stayed in the water all day long had we let her!

Madison, Jadyn and Lilly were hanging out in the loft area of one of the cabins. The three of them had lots of fun together.

We had been planning a family reunion for my side of the family for months and picked a halfway point (well, kind of!) for us and my relatives in Indiana and came up with Milton, Wisconsin. We found a great camping resort called Lakeland and rented cabins for the weekend, and it was so much fun! The kids had a blast swimming, playing at the park and arcade and just hanging around the campsite. My cousins had a pontoon and us adults got to take a pontoon ride Friday night which was a blast. The time went way too fast, but hopefully we can do it again next year.

Taylor Swift Concert

Macey and I met up with my friend Jeni and her three girls the other weekend and headed to CountryFest to see Taylor Swift! I think they were all just a little excited to actually see the person who sings all the songs they love! It was a lot of fun except for trying to get out of the parking lot, which took about 45 minutes, and almost running out of gas in the process!

Wisconsin Dells Trip

I love the above picture of Aunt Shelly and Lilly! They are chillin' and having a drink by the pool!

Wisconsin Dells Trip

A few weeks ago we met up with a Mike's family for a few days at Wilderness in Wisconsin Dells. All but one of Mike's siblings was able to make it, and we all shared a five-bedroom cabin. I wish I would have taken pictures of the cabin because it was very nice! The kids had a blast at the water park. Macey and Mike had so much fun on the water slides with Aunt Shelly and cousins Dillon and Trevor. Mike loves it now that Macey is old enough to do fun stuff like that with him. It works out very well this way because I'm afraid of heights and rarely go down the big slides! Lilly and I hung out in the kiddie area, and she had fun going down the slides, but her favorite part was the big bucket that fills up and then dumps down on your head! I got out of the way, but Lilly wanted to be pretty much right under that thing and wasn't scared at all! Both girls really enjoyed the wave pool as well. I think fun was had by all, and we hope to do this again next year.
