We had a couple of very eventful weeks for our family. We had the county fair, vacation and our very first day of summer camp!
The fair wasn't quite the same this year without my sister-in-law and her family and my other sis-in-law. We usually do an entire family evening event out of it and the adults have just as much fun as the kids. Our kids still had a blast, though and absolutely love all the rides. I wish I could say the same. Those things change a lot when it is your children on them instead of yourself!

We also got to go on a great family vacation to Kansas City. We were hoping to make it up to Wisconsin to see my brother and his family, but schedules would never quite mesh and we ran out of time. Hopefully, we can get Wisconsin in this fall.

Last, but not least, I got to take Noisy Man to one of my favorite places on earth! I was a camper here growing up and then at age 14 I started out as a counselor, then Staff In Training, then full time Summer Staff. I practically spend 6 straight summers out here and met some of the people who are still my best friends in life.
They have a day camp for the younger kiddos and I was quick to sign him up. We spent the day playing games, exploring reptiles, looking at fish, canoeing and fishing. Finished it up with some watersliding and ice cream and it was over way too fast. I am pretty sure I had more fun than he did as he is more the quiet, reserved type in these settings where I just dive in and go for it. He may look just like me, but he has his father's personality.

Awesome Waterslide
(he only did it two times though as the line was pretty long
and he got bored waiting - once again, more like daddy) |
