Another Amazing Weekend at the Lake

We enjoyed another fabulous weekend in Northern Wisconsin this past weekend! We drove up Thursday night because we have learned to time the drive around Milo's sleep schedule and also so that we would be able to wake up there Friday for a full day of fun.

Friday morning we helped my mom weed the gardens in front of the house. It was a beautiful day so we didn't even mind the work. Milo enjoyed it, too! After watching my mom bring a wheelbarrow full of weeds over to the compost pile in the woods, he proceeded to do the same exact thing with his wheelbarrow! He filled it up with weeds, walked all the way over to the woods, dumped out the wheelbarrow, and then walked back for more! He must have done it like 5 times in a row! It was the cutest thing, and Tod and I were obviously beaming with pride :)

Working hard! (apologies for Guinness barking in the background and the amateur videography!)


The rest of the weekend we played a lot of golf, watched baseball on TV, went for numerous boat rides (one time almost getting caught in a thunder storm!), and Milo of course rode the "tac-ta" with Papa! Milo also went on a field trip to Bayfield with Gramma, Auntie Ry and Uncle Sean to check out the site where Ryanne and Sean will be getting married later this summer!

On our way home late Sunday afternoon, we stopped at Tod's parents' place to see Uncle Tom who is in town from Mississippi/Mexico and some other extended relatives. Milo met his cousin (not exactly his cousin, but I'm not exactly sure what they would be to each other) Douglas, who is 15 and visiting for the summer from Reno. Douglas is Milo's new best friend! He took Milo on a long ride on the "tac-ta" (Gramma Kris' golf cart), took him to the park, and played trucks with him. Douglas was so great with Milo that we jokingly asked if he would come live with us for the summer instead of going home with his grandparents!


Will somebody PLEASE take me for a ride?

I'm waiting. . . How can you say no to this face?


Finally! Thanks, Mommy & Daddy!


All in all, an amazing weekend! We are looking forward to another trip next weekend to stay with Tod's parents for the weekend!
