    No Comments

    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.

    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…

    The Farm

    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.

    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.)

    Scary Bull

    Are you guys done yet!?!

    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.

    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!

    P.C. Junction

    No Comments

    We decided to try a new restaurant this year and it was a big hit for the kids.

    PC Junction

    You sit up to the bar and the waitresses send all of the food out on a train. The kids loved seeing the train come.

    We love trains

    Our Drinks stopped right in front of us.

    Benji and Julia with our drinks

    When there is a lull in the food then they send dancing animals out on the train – Benji and Packer thought that was great. So did the rest of the cousins.

    Phoenix and Talia

    The food was good but you definitely paid for the entertainment in the price!

    Benji and Caitlin

    And outside the restaurant they had some great peddle bikes and a track to ride on – we spent a good hour riding after lunch.

    Here we come!

    Grandma and Grandpa even took a turn!

    Brett Favre Returning?

    No Comments

    We were at Lambeau Field when the Brett Favre news broke the media – In fact I may have been taking this picture of the 2 quaterback jerseys in the Pro Shop window at the very hour of the news break!

    Favre or Rogers

    No Matter What Happens I am Sure that These Nettesheims Will Still be Packer Fans and Favre Lovers!
