Dreaming of Summer

I was looking back at my photos for proof that things do bloom in Wisconsin. I was reminded that not only do things bloom but we have the prettiest summers around. I never posted these pictures from our family gathering on Washington Island last July because I was too busy getting ready to leave for China. We're gathering again this summer and I'm so excited that we finally have Magnolia. She's going to love playing with all of her cousins.

The Petting Zoo. What will the surprise animal be this year?

Blue Moon Ice Cream all around!
What's summer without Blue Moon?
Swimming in Lake Michigan or a hot outdoor shower? The kids loved going back and forth.
