Fun with Fam & Friends in WI!

 Mar, Dave, and I took the Megabus to Wisconsin to visit 

fam & friends for a week!  Although it was a bit crowded 

for the first part of the trip, we still had a lot of fun! :-)

 Layover at the Union Station in Chicago.. Mar was a

bit tired & thought Dave would make a good pillow!

Dave is just so compliant.. sweet boy! ;-)

 The second part of the trip, from Chicago to Milwaukee,

was very nice and roomy!

 Seeing a face like this definitely makes the trip worth while!

(the one on the right, that is ;-))

 Uncle Dave, Levi, and Uncle Pab

 It worked out that the same week we went to visit at

Camp Joy, the Webb kids were there too!  Jack was a

nurse at the camp that week & Spurge and Georgia came

to visit.. so good to see them all again!

 Spurge was bemoaning carrying my pink bag! ;-)

Actually, he did it without complaint..

it was the picture he didn't like, and I'm sure 

he'll love that I have it on my blog! :-)

 We enjoyed playing a game together before bed that night.

On the way to church..

 Georgia & I matched on Sunday!

 Mar & Jack ended up matching too!

(Hard to tell, but Jack's skirt actually does have

some yellow in it too.. so, yes, they do match :-))

 Sisters.. sisters.. :-)

 Of course!  Culvers for lunch! :-)

I think Dave & Spurge had fun together..

kind of scary how much they're alike at times! ;-)

 

Mar gave Brooklyn & Levi belated birthday gifts.

well, Levi a belated birthday gift.. 

Brooke.. just because, I guess ;-)

"Bunny Cookies!"

 The Stephen Rains family.. aw.. so cute! :-)

 Green & jean day!

 I caught Levi as he prayed.. it's so cute how he so intently

cups his big hands over his little face!  

Okay, so I was peeking! ;-)

 CHEESE!!! :-)

 I think Brooke is definitely going to have curly hair!

Some pics of relaxing at camp..

 Lizard anyone?? :-)

 Who says boys ever grow up? ;-)

 Lunch on the back deck

 Georgia & Spurgeon flew back to NC on Monday..

it was sad to see them go!  So good to see y'all again!

 On Tuesday we went out to eat & to shop!

 HAPPY NATIONAL PIZZA DAY!

(Did you know that it's July 19th?  Right, Jo? ;-))

 Snazzy glasses, Tina! ;-)

 Poor Brooke.. the day just wore her out!

 On Thursday we went to a nearby natureland 

at another camp. Dave was in his glory with all the 

reptiles! AND.. he even got to HOLD them!  Yuck! ;-)

Nicole, you would've loved it, I'm sure! ;-)

 Levi was actually pretty brave to pet the snakes!

Must've been cause of Uncle Dave's example :-)

 I don't think so!

 

 Can you tell Levi is enjoying his ice cream? ;-)

 Can you tell I'm enjoying my Frappe? ;-)

 Friday evening we relaxed by the water.. 

I love the water!  It's so calm & peaceful.  

Just the medicine we need sometimes :-)

 Levi enjoyed "driving" the golf cart :-)

We had a fun, relaxing week at camp.  

It was so good to catch up with family & friends!

Here are some pics that we took as a culmination of the week...

Safely back to MI now.. although we enjoyed WI,
we're all in agreement that there's "no place like home" :-)
