Ok, really it's called the Pleasant Valley Tree Farm.  You may remember my post about this same place last year.  If not you can read it here.  Times have changed a little since then.  Abby was able to enjoy it with us this year.  She's still a bit young for most of the activities which means every year it will be more and more fun for her to go.  Unfortunely Joe was not able to go with us as he was working hard to cross off some of the line items on our house To-Do list but you can bet we took plenty of pictures to share!



hehe - a little belly shot!



this is a fake horse by the way...

Happy 60th Birthday!

It sure was a surprise!  Grandpa had no idea the grandkids were planning a surprise party for him! 

The weather was great, the food was yummy and the company delightful!  Only problem -- I thought I took more pictures than I did and most of the ones I got were really dark.  I only have a few to share this time...

I'm starting to think a few photography and editing classes would be nice...anyone else interested?

Labor Day Weekend

Warning = another post with a TON of pictures!

As usual we spent Labor Day weekend camping.  This year we changed up the location and went to O'Neil Creek Campground in Chippewa Falls, WI.

The weekend was cool (I'm not complaining!) but we had a blast.  We had a great time with family and our close friends.  Since I have a lot of pictures in this post I will keep the text to a minimum. 

To sum it up, the weekend consisted of;

Great company

Grilling

TWO huge campfires

Bike rides

Stroller rides

Family time in the camper

Cuddling with Abby around the fire

Train ride through the campground

Playgrounds

Smores

Deep fried venison, french fries and pizza rolls (hey, I never said we eat healthy)

Bean-Bags

Washer Toss

Catching up

Gossip

Picking out house furnishings (my cousin is doing a full remodel right now!)

Relaxing

And now for the pictures!



Hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!
