Our epic vacation!

Alex and I rode back to Wisconsin with Matt and Amy on July 15th. It was a good day to spend in the car because it was way too hot to do anything outside! When we rolled into Green Bay all the bank signs said 103! Sunday we went over to Joy, Doug and Maddie's house to play - we greatly appreciated being able to visit with them in their air conditioning that day. Monday Alex and I headed over to New London and spent the day with Uncle Paul, Aunt Karrie and the cousins. We had a great time, Alex sure loves his cousins!
Tuesday morning Alex and I decided it was just too hot in Green Bay and headed north to the lake for a couple days! We had such a wonderful time. It was really special to be there just the two of us. We spent all day tuesday down by the water and then wednesday morning I rode my bike into Minocqua w/ Alex in the trailer to the store to get some groceries. It was a bit cloudy so we went over to Rhinelander to visit Grandma Ruth and Lori. Alex LOVED feeding the fish at Grandma Ruth's and we had a great visit and stayed for supper.
Thursday was another great day to be down by the water so we swam a lot and filled in the time with the regular cottage activities like legos, coloring, reading and naps in the blue bedroom!
