Grandpa and Grandma's

This past week we spent at Andy's parents house in Minnesota.  Their cute town has hundred's of lakes and one person is never bored!!

Drew, Andy , and Grandpa took the boat out one night and look what they came home with... dinner!! Drew's face had to of hurt from all the smiles!!  He was in heaven.

Claire not to sure about eating a roasted marshmallow


Look what we saw on our road trip from Wisconsin to Minnesota, our good friend Paul!

One night at Grandpa and Grandma's was devoted to catching frogs!!

I don't think Drew and Claire will ever want to leave Andy's parents house as he was able to shoot a gun!

HoMe SwEEt HoMe!

On the 8th of July we landed in Virginia at 3am and started our new adventure here in America.  Saying good-bye to our friends in Spain was so hard, however it will be so great to be near family for our next tour in Wisconsin.

We were able to spend three days at my brother's Brain's house in Virginia Beach, which was awesome  & with so much entertainment.  Uncle Brain is like an amusement park for the kiddos and they always have a BLAST!

We then loaded up the car and spent two days driving to Madison!  The children did awesome in the car and the time actually went by really fast!

We then spent two days in Madison checking out our new house and the kiddos school's. 

Relaxation was in sight as we headed to our family cabin in Northern Minnesota for five days.  The days were filled with fishing, boating, state parks, and swimming in the lake!  We couldn't have been more relaxed if we tried!

Drew and Claire ready for their first fishing trip!

Flash backs from my childhood... hammocks are ALWAYS a hit with kiddos!!

Boating with grandpa!

Drew ended up catching six fish!!! For his first time fishing he did amazing and Andy has found his fishing buddy as he will stay fishing for HOURS... YES, HOURS....

After seeing Drew catch a few, Claire wanted to try...

So peaceful..
