.....and we're back!


Well, hello there!  Did you think we had forgotten about you?!? Two months of no posting leave you wondering if Jackson had broken our camera?  While that is entirely possible, the truth is that we had a very, very busy July and then spent the month of August recovering from the summer of craziness.

Given it's Sept 1, we're wiping the slate clean, but to do that, we've got to go backwards before we can go forward.  So, with that - let's go back to the end of June when we took our annual trip back to WI.  

As usual, it was a whirlwind trip that has us up and down 94 - from Milwaukee to Tomah to Chippewa and back again.  Here are the highlights:

Grandma Hanson's 90th Birthday
An amazing accomplishment and one worth celebrating with the entire family with a nice diner.

Acting Like a Big Boy with Grandpa Bob
From pretending to drive all the different "toys" (tractors, forklifts, golf carts) in Grandpa Bob's "shed" to drinking kiddie margaritas, Jackson was acting like a true little boy.




Stopover in Osseo to see Grandma Great
We had a nice lunch, played the piano and went to see Toni & Chuck.


Chippewa for music, dogs, trains and fireworks
Playing the guitar with Grandpa
Boys watching baseball
Seeing the sculptures downtown EC
Fun with Mya Telisak at the EC Children's Museum
McQueen and Mater in the flesh!
Big Baby feeding Uncle Josh's dog 10 too many treats
Madison paid us a visit on their way to Mpls
Grandpa lighting fireworks for Jackson
Fun with Grandma at Irvine Park
Posing at Hank Aaron statue in Carson Park
Train time at Carson Park

Milwaukee wraps up our trip
We were busy here as well seeing friends, celebrating birthdays and going to Uncle Aaron & Aunt Jamie's baby shower!
