Kangaroo Lake

July 17, 2008 admin No Comments

This is perhaps my favorite vacation spot! The beach is great for the kids and when it’s sunny and warm all week – what more could you want? We played at the lake everyday. We paddled the paddle boats and the kayaks and swam and built sand castles and yelled at Packer not to eat sand and…Â

Al Johnsons

Al Johnsons – also known as The Horny Goat Restaurant -Â is a Swedish restaurant in Sister Bay. I think we go because they have real goats that sit out on the grassy roof all day but the breafast is also really good 🙂

There are the Goats!

We Love Al Johnsons!

Feeding the Goats

these little goats at the farm are so hungry and just waiting for the next little kid to walk through the door with a bottle…

This guy had Benji going in circles because he was so aggressive going for the milk.

How Cute!

Packer wasn’t scared at all!

Extended Family

July 17, 2008 admin No Comments

We got to spend time with Grandma Nettesheim during the week and also with Ben’s aunts, uncles, cousins, parents and siblings – we took over the local branch for sacramenet meeting, had FHE, celebrated a few birthdays, softball game, cards…

It was past bedtime but there was still visiting to be done so I had to do some entertaining.

The Farm

July 17, 2008 admin 1 Comment

They have a great farm in Sturgeon Bay, WI. Our kids were the perfect age for it this year. They loved all of the animals and had no fear.

Packer the Chicken Attacker!

Wagon Ride!

Benji and the goats watching the sheep.

What is up with Packer and the Pigs Noses!! Nasty!

Benji and the Bunnies.

This guy is scary – even for me. (He did have a haircut since the last time I was there so he looked a little more friendly.)

Are you guys done yet!?!

We walked in where the bulls were and asked Benji what these big animals were, “Rhinos!”

We think that having a large dog at home made the big farm animals less scary because both of our boys were unafraid!

Believe it or not we have more pictures but I think that is enough Farm for anyone to be sick of 🙂

It was 4 in the afternoon and we had already been swimming but we found all of the cousins down at the beach. I think the pictures tell it all from there.

SheepsHead?

July 17, 2008 admin No Comments

I love games and I love cards but this has got to be the most backwards card game ever invented. All of the Nettesheim Aunts and Uncles and Grandparents and Cousins love this game but in the 5 years since I was introduced to it I have not been able to make a place for it in my heart or my memory – maybe someday it will click…….. http://www.sheepshead.org/basicrules.cfm

For Now we stick to easier games!
