The Badwater Ski-ters in Spread Eagle, Wisconsin draw quite a crowd for their shows. Gabby is on the left of course, and Marny is on the right. The show was very impressive and entertaining, and FREE !! They did come around and ask for donations, but we had spent all our 20 dollar bill at the concession stand :-)
I think I counted 18 girls in this line. All teens and under, the youngest was like 7 or something. You go girls !!!
20 dollars at the concession stand for ice cream treats, popcorn, and a soda was money well spent for a fun family night out !! Left to right is Gabriella, Francesca, Vincent, Dominic, and Marnina. Our beautiful babies :-)
This is Big Lake Fumee, about 20 miles or so to the West of us. Clear, beautiful water, fed from springs and streams, lots of loons, clams, fish, beavers, and eagles. We love to come here and hike or swim. It seems this spot is unknown, it's like our own private swimming hole. All sand beach and noone around for miles = pure heaven on earth !!!
I have ALWAYS wanted a swing hanging from a tree somewhere in our yard for the kids to enjoy.....And now we've got one !!! FINALLY !!! we've only lived here 8 years :-) Happy mommy and happy children---Thank you Daddy !!!
Dominic turned 9 on July 22nd. We had Gramma and Grampa and favorite cousin Will over for cake and ice cream and presents. Legos were at the top of the list !! Cake was store bought, I'm working now, so it is just easier to go that route :-) Isn't he too cute ????
