Well, I’ve fallen way behind. I’m having too much fun to sit in front of the computer 🙂

Yesterday we went to Holy Hill – a Catholic monastery on top of a high hill. It’s beautiful, both inside…
…and out.You can climb one of the towers. Jonalyn & I only made it half way, Sabrina & the girls made it a little further, but her husband and son made it all the way to the top. Wow. I’m impressed.

We then went to a cheese store in the area. They have all kinds, including chocolate cheese, cherry Swiss (that would be great on a salad), Munster, all kinds of cheddar, and the list goes on and on. And now I can truly call myself a Wisconsinite – I bought a good cheese slicer. It was a lot of fun. Then on to a truly unique Wisconsin lunch, complete with butter burgers and frozen custard. It’s much smoother and richer than ice cream and way better in my humble opinion. I think they all enjoyed themselves.

Today we ventured out to a local lake. It used to be a quarry that has now filled with water. It may have been a little chilly for these Southerners, but we’ll toughen them up. The kids didn’t seem to mind in the least.

They have a nice sand beach and some play equipment. The girls both managed these monkey bars. They are like two peas in a pod, having the best of times.

We had a great picnic lunch there.

The kids all had a great time and took long naps! Sabrina and I enjoyed some girl time out on the porch swing. It was a gorgeous weather day – sunny, 70’s and low humidity. After a Wisconsin brat dinner, Sabrina and I stuck the men with the kids and took a walk. It was too beautiful to sit inside.

I really hope they are having a good time. If you want the fast-paced action of the city, don’t come visit us. But if you want a relaxing, laid-back vacation, we’re you’re people. Tomorrow, I think we are going to head toward Milwaukee and show them the big city! Don’t we live adventuresome lives?!
