Hartman Creek State Park

One Sunday in late August we decided to take a drive to a state park in Waupaca.  All we wanted was to have a little adventure and we found a beautiful park not too far away.  We enjoyed our hike and a little play time at the beach!

Bay Beach and the Wildlife Center

On a hot day in July, we ventured out to Green Bay and to Bay Beach with AJ's cousins, Adreanna and Parker.  We had loads of fun riding the rides at the amusement park and then at the nature center across the way.  Those three kids get together and it is bound to be goofy!

A couple of family pictures from the Fourth of July

There are many more of these pictures but they aren't on my computer right now...

Let's bowl, let's bowl, let's rock and roll!

AJ's first outing to a bowling alley and then he had a bowling birthday party to go to the next week too!  Lucky kid!  ;)

And daddy only beat him by 2 pins... with the bumpers on!  Ha!

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Let's go out to the ball game!  An evening at Athletic Park watching the Wisconsin Woodchucks!

The Enchanted Fairy Forest aka Paff Park

We discovered this little park in Wausau one day and it was just like an enchanted fairy forest. I loved it! So did AJ! We had fun bouncing around this wooded wonderland for an hour in between swim lessons at the Y and going to the outdoor pool.

Sprinkler time in early June!
