In order for the kids and me to get from Chicago to meet Leif in Wisconsin Dells, WI, we took an Amtrak Train! Another exciting mode of transportation!!!
The kids on the train:
Liam is making up a song about what he's seeing out the window :)
There wasn't much for us to do in the Dells, since we were there off-season. We wandered around a couple of tourist shops and ate lunch here, at Monk's Bar--a Sherry Man's Traditional Drinking Spot:
This is about how wild and crazy our family got here:
That evening, we went swimming at an indoor pool, which is enough fun to make whole trip worthwhile for a kid! It was a nice time for just the four of us to chill out :)
The next day, we made a trip out to the Sherry cabin just north of the Dells. This cabin was constructed by Leif's Grandma and Grandpa Sherry without one power tool! It has since had the lower half of the siding replaced due to rot, but it still has no power, gas, or running water. It has a pot-belly stove and a fireplace to keep one plenty warm for the coldest of hunting seasons (though completely unnecessary this year!).
The view from the deck:
The deer head on the left is Leif's prize buck. "The largest one shot on the property..."
We had a little picnic:
I really wish someone would've been there to take a picture of all of us together...or I wish I knew how to use my timer :)
It was hard to choose one pic of Leif and the kids to feature here!
The boys played some soccer (Leif is really impressed by Liam's form here!):
The girls hung out in the sun on the trailer:
Closing up shop until next time:
It was a beautiful day! Now, off to Lake Mills, WI, to the home of Uncle Tom & Aunt Robyn. Post coming shortly...
