Nicholas and the Canoe

Nick went on his first canoe ride today. Or, at least, 1.5 of a round trip canoe ride. The weather turned rough, so he cut it short. We all had a great time though looking at the bluffs of the shoreline.

Another Day in the Dairyland...

While the day started with rain, it cleared up to a beautiful, busy day. We explored limestone bluffs across the northern tip, visited a huge orchard (with a playground), climbed two scary 75ft overlook towers looking down 250ft, snuck on a Coast Guard station to see another lighthouse, had ice cream at a 100 year old soda fountain, ate a great dinner, and visited some more playgrounds. Tomorrow should be beautiful and it is about bedtime for us (Nicholas crashed a while ago.)

Another Day

Well it's been another full day in Wisconsin. Some more lighthouses, a whole lot of beach time, some rock caves, and a fish boil. Nicholas did take a moment out of his busy day to pose for this photo at Eagle Bluff Lighthouse. Goodnight :)

Fish Boil!!!

Yes, that's right... Somewhere in the middle of all that flame is our fresh whitefish. It's a tradition up here to cook it like this, and I have to say it is really good! A little diesel at the end makes it boil over in a hurry and takes all the fish oil off the top.

Nicholas splashes his way through Cave Point County Park

Just Another Lighthouse :)

After a long walk on the Manitowac breakwater pier, Nicholas and Mom checkout the lighthouse.

Eating Chicken at the Track

A little rain won't keep this Hoosier from Carb Day :)
