    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…

    Al Johnsons – also known as The Horny Goat Restaurant - 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 🙂

    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.

    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!
