Tim, Oscar, and I went on a quick trip to Wisconsin this weekend for my sister's housewarming party. We drove, which was crazy for such a brief visit. I failed to get any pictures of Kathy's new house because we were busy with last minute unpacking and party prep. On Saturday night, we took a break from the unpacking and headed over to Council Grounds State Park for a campfire, cookout, and walk in the woods. It was light out until around 9 pm!
Here's a view of the beautiful Wisconsin River:
There was a beach right on the river and while it was a bit chilly to get in the water, Oscar ran around like a mad man on the beach. Who knew he liked sand? It was like watching a rabbit run. He also formed a crush on my niece's dog Chloe, a yellow lab who is 20x his size. He lurves her.
Most of the roads in the area have fairly low speed limits, so Oscar also got to engage in his favorite hobby: sticking his head out of the car window:
It was a fun visit, but as usual too brief. We picked up cheese (of course! Including cheese curds) and some fresh peas (there was a sign along the highway, I was powerless not to stop). There was also much knitting (in between spells of driving) in the car. I finished a better bucket hat, but I think I need to tweak the size a bit. We're going back to WI in August for my Dad's birthday, but I think we'll probably fly - driving that much makes us both grumpy :)
The WI River looks beautiful! Yum... cheese curds. I'm heading up to Milwaukee for Summer Fest this weekend.
