Alright, Shark and I went to Wisconsin last week. Shark fished all week and hung out with the family. I hung out with the family. My mom also threw me a baby shower while I was there. It was alot of fun!

My parents have a dog, Allie. She's a collie, and she gets lost easily. :)
My parents also have deer. They feed the deer, and have for the past 7 years or so. One morning, Shark and I woke up to 2 fawns eating. Photo taken from the kitchen.
My parents have a pond. My dad stocks the pond with bass, blue gill, perch, and rainbow trout. Shark was having the best vacation ever, waking up to fishing every morning!
Our family has a tradition of sorts. Most summers we go look at waterfalls. We have usually gone with another family, my mom's best-friend-in-the-whole-wide-world's family when they come to visit. This year we went just us, but my dad came! We went to Dave's Falls State Park. It was a nice hike (yes I did it!) and tha falls were beautiful. Shark and my dad started trying to get lures and bobbers out of trees at the end!
My mom threw my a baby shower, with the help of my sisters! It was alot of fun! More pictures would have been taken if we hadn't had so much fun talking to the girls!
Shark was kept busy by my dad and my brother. He and my brother started throwing the football around. They threw it from the trampoline, they played 500 off the roof, they threw it to the dog. My dad needed Shark's help with the basketball hoop installation. Now, if he only gets that court paved, he'll play some ball.
Our trip to Wisconsin was loads of fun, and very relaxing. We got to sleep in as much as we could, and fish as much as we wanted, and just hang out. It was so much fun! Thanks mom and dad!!
Love to the family! ♥
This past weekend, Mark's brother and sister-in-law Steve and Heather, came to visit us! It was tons of fun! We went camping at Pike's National Forest. It was way cold at night, but other than that it was a real good time. We woke up the next morning and went fishing at Jefferson Lake. (The lake still had snow around it. And not like a little bit of snow, like 1 foot in some places, even more in others!) But Heather caught the frst fish (lake trout) and then we all caught fish after that (rainbow trout). I caught the last fish (rainbow) but I was also the fisher-queen because I was the first to catch the limit of 4 fish. It was pretty fun. We then brought the fish home to cook em up, but the 10 fish we c
aught camping, plus the 10 fish Mark caught the day before was alot of fish. So of course, the boys decided to go fishing AGAIN. Steve caught a huge bass! But the boys brought back tons of fish from that trip too! Mark said that Steve caught 40 fish and Mark caught 30, put threw alot back (thank goodness!) So our fridge is FULL of fishes, Steve and Heather forgot to take the fish home! But the weekend was a good one, it was alot of fun.
ing off. And not like a police siren or a ambulance siren, more along the lines of a tornado siren. The kids kinda start to freak out, but I try to calm them best I can (it works), and everything was fine. We later find out, there was tornado over by the Costco, pretty much at the intersection of Hwy 7 and I-25. And there were at least 5 other tornadoes that were spotted around the Denver-Metro area. So... yeah... I guess it's true, after you get east of the mountains, Colorado DOES become Kansas! Everything was fine, I actually wasn't worried about anything (we don't have cable, so we don't hear about things right away....It's not too bad of a thing really, it just takes us a while to hear the latest thing.)
