Enjoying Vacation

It's been an amazing vacation so far and I'm off tomorrow for MN to visit with friends!! Here are some pictures from the last week or so.

Mom and I spent last Wednesday afternoon in Wausau shopping for a baby shower gift and came home got ready and headed out to dinner at Silver Birch Restaurant in Tomahawk. I had my favorite Riesling by Chateau Ste. Michelle. YUMMY!! We were able to capture some really great family pictures (minus Michael - because he was being a pooper scooper). I WILL get a picture with him and I before I head back home to Mexico.





I was able to catch this attractive picture of Mike since he didn't want to participate in the family photo op.

Mom and I had a family baby shower to attend on Saturday and I was able to capture some great family pictures there as well. Pam and Aunt Janet came up early to visit and I had fun going through Mom's flower gardens to make an arrangement. I know...after a couple of weeks I wanted to get back to arranging flowers. It was actually FUN and I enjoyed pulling these textures together.



Isn't Lisa cute pregnant!! Her and Jen are only a few short weeks apart.





Saturday afternoon Dawson and Mike were outside playing soccer. Dawson is sooo excited to be starting Soccer at School. His first practice starts on the 27th!! Mike put up his soccer net and I was able to catch some action photos in between helping Mom with dinner. I had a TON of fun playing frisbee with Dawson and Dad too!!!




Sunday morning we all got up early and headed to Paul Bunyan's for a early breakfast because Dawson was heading off to his Mom's for a couple of weeks before he starts Soccer. We said our "See you at Christmas, be a good boy, etc" and then Mom, Dad and I headed off to Bond falls. It was a GREAT day and many trips down Memory Lane were taken.




This photo is a little dark, but I really like it!!!


Mom and Dad were troopers. We came down the well paved way and went back up the falls the "off road" way!! Dad was a hurting unit last night and today. For 60 plus years I was amazed they did it!!

I experimented with my camera's digital zoom and exposure feature and was able to capture this photo!! WOO HOO FOR ME!!


A blackberry blossom!!! YUMMY FRESH Blackberries.

We visited the VERY clean and NOT smelly outhouses!!

There were wildflowers growing everywhere!!

I'm really having a great time and looking forward to my trip to MN tomorrow for a few days!
