Summer Vacation!!!

Well, once again, I haven't been very good about updating our blog! We went on a great family vacation in August! We spent the week with Zach's family at his grandma's cabin on the Mississippi for a couple of days, then ventured to Wisconsin Dell's where we had some excitement! Josie needed to get her first stitches! Yup, she was jumping on the hotel bed and just like a certain song...she fell off. She was fine and we all had a laugh after the fact! We had to get her a swim cap so that she could still swim at the waterparks :) All in all we had a blast and had perfect weather and a great end to the summer! By the way... start at the bottom of my pictures and scroll up, I downloaded them backwards, sorry :/

Home from vacation--Josie got a kick out of Carly's hair below...

Carly loves running her fingers thru her hair when she eats.

Had to get a picture of Josie's stitches!


Josie was so brave with her stitches...she didn't make a peep when she was getting them.
The doctor kept saying "you are the best patient we've ever had!"



Isaac is crazy!!! He rode this ride and it was called the Catapult, it launched
him into the air--I was petrified just watching him!



Isaac's getting up the nerve to ride this crazy thing!

We went to a crocadile exibit and got to feed them! Josie loved it!

Josie's trying to get a croc's attention

What a poser! Isaac and Josie were like brother and sister on the trip! Especially the teasing!

Carly's looking at the drink list!

We went this fun restaurant called "Marley's" named and themed after Bob Marley.

Josie and her Puma (that's what they call her)

All the girls !

Josie in her swim cap! You couldn't miss her!

Such a sisterly love!

Josie's sharing some snacks

It was such a hot day...it was 90+ degrees! Perfect waterpark weather!

Josie loved feeding these goats!! I think she could have stayed her all day!

Carly was pooped from all the rides!

Josie just had to play this game where you're bound to loose, but I think the game attendant

was easy on her so that she could win a stuffed animal...another one for her collection!

Isaac talked Zach into going on this crazy ride! Zach was scared beyond words I think!

I just had to take a picture of this!

Isaac is having second thoughts!

Josie's first mini rollercoaster!! She was scared at first, but quickly was grinning and laughing!

Josie riding more rides...

Carly's first ride on the train.

Again, Josie found the goats...

Her poor head!

We ate a Paul Bunion's...wouldn't recommend it...pure grease!

Carly is eating her dessert!

This was at the cabin--we had a beautiful sunset!
Perfect for picture taking!

Every night we had a dance party at the cabin and when Carly gets going real good she

spins and looks to one direction with her eyes...this is a picture of it!

Carly was being a nut! She flipped her hat up like a sailor!

Family picture!

Carly is a true Papa's girl!

Every time a barge went by Josie would get so excited! She wanted me to take

a picture of her with the barge in the background.

Supper time at the cabin!

Father and Son...cool in their shades!

Carly eatin her dinner!
Puma wearing her "puma" shirt!

Josie was rockin out to "single ladies"...it's her favorite song!

Swimmin on the Mississippi! It was so hot!!

Zach was throwing Josie as high as he could in the air and catching her in the water!

She would squeal in fear, but then say, "do it again!"

Josie loved swimming in her lifejacket! She is a little fish!

Carly loved this raft! She was my little sunbather!

Isaac's such a goofball!

Papa and Isaac fishing, but no bites :(

Isaac is beginning the teasing with making Josie smell his nasty feet!!
She wasn't any better, any little thing and she was squealing!
