Southern WI 2009

Once again we made a go of stopping at some state parks. We were able to get our state park sticker well we were at it though it wasn't until the 3rd park that there was someone to buy one from. Here's the parks: Lake Kegonsa State Park, New Glarus Woods State Park, Cadatiz Springs State Recreational Area, Yellowstone State Park, Blue Mound State Park, Governor Dodge State Park, Capital Springs State Park, and Governor Nelson State Park. We also stopped at Brigham County Park and New Glarus Brewing Company.

Western WI 2008

On this trip we stopped at Buckhorn State Park, Mill Bluffs State Park (which was closed), Wildcat Mountain State Park, Perrot State Park and Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine. These pictures are from some of those state parks







Grandad Bluff

Old World Wisconsin 2008


Journey back to the past at Old World Wisconsin — a vivid re-creation of the working farmsteads and settlements established by European immigrants in America's heartland.

Discover teams of oxen and horses working in the fields, the farm folk preparing hearty meals over wood-burning stoves, and the heirloom plants in well-tended gardens. Stroll through the Crossroads Village and chat with the town blacksmith or the keeper of the general store. Discover the true spirit of early Wisconsin.

Walworth County Fair 2008

most of the pictures taken at the fair are for future gifts for the nieces and nephews (it's looking like a 3rd birthday gift more then likely)

behind...

Okay so I'm behind in posting, I'm actually like 5 or 6 trips behind, so I'll do some quick updates and if you want more pictures of a trip just ask.

We just got back from visiting Ben's aunt in MO...I'll admit it felt weird not having Wally around, but it was still nice to see Cheryl and help around the house and garden. We went to the music festival were the highlight was the mule jumping competition.
