Firefly Catching

How we spent our Wisconsin nights.

Summerfest

Our soon-to-be-brother-in-law guitarist played with his band at summerfest this year.

He finagled me a press pass and I got to play photographer.
It was all pretty awesome!

And on our way out we spotted a tuba player playing a little diddly as he rode the chairlift.
Just the cherry on the top of an already deliciously great day.

The family farm

Where my husband grew up.

Worth waking up at 5:30 am for.

A day in Wisconsin.

This could be any old day from our recent week in Wisconsin.

But it wasn't, it was a Tuesday.

A pretty near perfect Tuesday at that.
Play. Swim. Eat. Compete in games. Laugh hysterically. Repeat.
That was the basic gist of things.

bonfires.



lawnmower rides.

hardcore jeep riding.
the boys took this very seriously.

Welcome Home.

Our first taste of Wisconsin the evening we flew in.

Could they have planned a better welcome?
