Memorial Weekend

Memorial Weekend is always the kick of our busy months of traveling. On Saturday morning we began our summer adventure by heading Up North to the cabin. Cooper was super excited to be going up there and he talked all about the things that he wanted to do: swim, fish, walk to the farm, and have a campfire, not to mention play with his cousin Gabby!
We took our first break in Shawno, Wisconsin (about 1.5 hours away from the cabin). At this point Brewer had had enough and was in need of a break...so were Mom and Dad! The boys and I got out of the van at this park off of the main street while Daddy went in search of some lunch for us to eat. The boys had fun running around while we were waiting. Cooper found this tank at the corner of the park and went over to it to investigate it. Brewer was just having a blast climbing up and down the steps.






We finally arrived late afternoon after making one stop at the Mennonite Store for some yummy treats. Cooper also enjoyed driving us up to the cabin when we got to County Road B. Cooper had fun swimming, fishing, going on a walk with Mommy, and playing with Gabby. Brewer had fun playing inside while Mommy was busy cleaning up from the winter's disaster (mice) and also enjoyed his run up on DeMayer Road until he fell flat on his nose...ouch! Daddy was busy helping Grandpa get the water in and helping put in the new toilet. We also took a little side trip down to Stacey and Del's summer party on Sunday afternoon. We headed for home on Monday afternoon. Our trip was short but sweet and we are all looking forward to going back up there again soon!
