PICTURE OF THE DAY – July 7th

Michelle and Millie going on a little walk. I love this picture because Millie loves her Chelle. Michelle lives next door so Millie has adopted Michelle as her 2nd mom.

RUNNER UP:

Tiago started trying to smile! Might have been gas but it was CUTE!

Tuesday July 7:

We went swimming at the pool in the morning because that’s what the kids were wanting to do. After lunch we headed over for the Family Reunion Volleyball game:

After volleyball we played at the lake until dinner – We had Tacos at Pete and Amanda’s condo and played some baseball after dinner:

Not everyone played baseball:

All of the cousins were so helpful with our kids!! I really can’t tell you how cool it was. They played with Millie and Ray a ton. And they all took turns holding Tiago. Carter was chillin with Ray this whole night and EVERYONE tried to help Millie throughout the week.

Everyone ended the night with a HIKE TO THE CREEPY CABIN! The cabin is in the woods and it is creepy. Cali, Pack, and Benji were determined to go! so they did and it was SCARY:

I love this picture of Ben and his Dad. Like Father , like Son.

Monday July 6th: we started the day off right with a soccer game!

and then ran down to the beach!!

All of the kids enjoyed the boats – Packer was out on some sort of water craft the entire morning/afternoon.

and then it started raining! so we ran for the condos! The kids went to the indoor pool and we played some games:

It was our night to make dinner and then everyone stayed for a few more games:

PICTURE OF THE DAY – July 5th

The Nettesheim Clan – This is not everyone but it is the majority. This is the reason we were willing to spend 4 days in the car. We got to spend time with lots and lots of family!

Sunday we went to church in Sturgeon Bay and visited with cousins. That afternoon we played a few games and then we met with everyone for family pictures.

We took the opportunity to take a few family pictures with just our kids and one with Great Grandma Nettesheim.

These girls were so cute. Millie saw them playing and ran out to join them. Ring around the Rosies, human pyramids and matching shirts – picture perfect!

We got together that night for a few games. Ben introduced “One Night” and the kids loved it – they all played for hours.

The 4th of July!

7/4 Saturday.

We got up and went to the 4th of July parade in Waukesha with Rick’s family. Ben snapped this picture of John Malan driving by because he was the weather man when they were kids and Ben was in a commercial with him.

After the parade we loaded up to head to Door County for the family reunion. We stopped for Kopps custard on our way out, of course. Flavor of the day was birthday cake cake batter for the 4th and it was delicious.

We stopped to buy food for the week and then we made it to our condo where we checked in and got unpacked for a week of fun!

We said Hi to some of the family that evening but didn’t stay out too late. We watched some of the surrounding harbor fireworks and called it a night. Later that night Ben and Shan and I played One Night Werewolf to learn the rules so we could teach it to the rest of the family… pretty sure I won.

July 2nd

7am leave our house and dog in the care of Brady and Kelsey.

We asked Shannon to come on the trip with us and she agreed! The DAYS of driving would deter most people but Shanny was up for the challenge. She was our super helper/nanny and our fun/entertainer. We loved having her along on our vacation.

5pm We pull in to North Platte, NE. 5:40 leave w/ mcdonalds.

8:40 Lincoln, NE super 8. Really 9:40 local time. Check in to our hotel rooms and get some sleep.

Friday July 3rd we got up and ate donuts and were on the road again at 9am, except we forgot to gas up so we stopped again at 10am.

2:50 Dubuque iowa, 3:20 leave

3:30 entering Wisconsin

6:00 Brookfield WI Kopps. We made it to our first destination!! We ate yummy burgers, ordered too many fries and topped it all off with Custard 🙂

Then we drove 30 minutes to Rick and Jen’s house in Mukwonago. We got to spend the evening with them: we visited and did a few fireworks and stayed the night. FYI – Mosquitoes there are always intense.
