Door County Weekend

We started our trip with a stop at THE Farm. Kisses to S from the kids.
J feeding the goats.

S loved the cats.

Yummy chocolate shake from the Door Co. Ice Cream Factory.

Movie under the stars. The Zookeeper at The Skyway.

The funniest part of the whole evening was running into a family from school.

It is a small world.

Blankets, Wheat Thins and curd.

The biggest catch so far this year. J was so happy and proud!

The Door County Fair Demolition Derby.

I think the Lilly pants were the right choice, don't you?

All I could think was Marisa Tomei, in My Cousin Vinny, saying "Oh yeah, you blend."

Excitement abounds.
There were even a few women in thie co-ed showdown.

This little guy slept through almost all of it.

The boys really enjoyed it.

On THE Farm - Door County

Last week, I packed the boys and went to Door Co. We spent a great morning at THE Farm. If you are ever in Door. Co, you must take the kids, pack a picnic, and enjoy the day.

Walking the nature trails

J learning how to milk a goat

S walking in the prairie

We saw three chicks hatch, it was so interesting.

S loved the kitty, kitty didn't feel the same.

Fish were Biting

We took the boys and our nieces, Megan and Sarah, and my sister-in-law, Sue, out on the boat, Saturday and today. The girls had never been in a fast moving boat, and they loved it. Today we went fishing, and all the kids were lucky. It was another beautiful weekend in Door County. Megan is pictured above, isn't she beauty?!

Happy 4th of July!

We are headed to Door Co. for a long weekend. My brother in law and his family are joining us tomorrow night. It should be a weekend filled with boating, fireworks and lots of cooking. He likes to cook as much as I do!
