July 2011
Sorry that I'm a few months behind on our blog. Everytime I get caught up, I swear I won't get behind again. Well, now ya'll know I'm a true procrastinator! But I swear I won't get behind again. July was probably one of our busiest months while in WI. Kirk and I were fortunate to have Kristy, Robyn, Bella, Ady, and Caleb for the 4th of July weekend. They all loved the campground, especially the swimming and riding in the golf court. LaValle, WI put on a spectacular fireworks display. All the fireworks are bought by money raised from collecting aluminum all year long. The local volunteer fire department does a fantastic job of "safely" displaying the fireworks. They are very comparable to the ones we saw at Disney World. We also enjoyed more 4th of July festivities at Ben and Nicki's on the Marsh. The annual 4th of July Parade in Pittsville, and our own private display of fireworks on the Marsh.
Kirk and I also canoed down the Kickapoo River near Ontario, WI with the group from Chapparal Campground. We had a great time and also enjoyed a cook out later in the evening at the campground. We made many new friends this summer and will never forget them.
Dan and Amy, our wonderful friends from Gladbrook traveled over to visit us for a weekend. They stayed in one of the cabins here at Chapparal and went to the Dells during the day. In the evening we sat around the campfire. We had an awesome time!
Bridget, Jason, Drew, and Kinsey from Decorah also came to visit. I worked with Bridget in Decorah. She's like a daughter to me....and a forever, wonderful friend. It was so good to see them all. Drew and Kinsey have grown so much. Bridget, we need to get together more often. I miss you!!
Bev (Kirk's sister), her fiance, Al, and Chipper (Al's beagle) also stayed in the cabin while visiting us. We cooked out steaks, sat around the campfire and tried to go canoeing. I say tried, as we got there and a storm blew in, so scratch the river. Despite all that, it didn't keep us from having a great weekend.
To end the month, I took a trip to the cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) to visit the girls. One of the best parts of the trips was bringing Adyson back to the campground to spend a week with Papa Kirk and I.
