Apple Orchard

Grandma Deb and Grandpa Ken came to visit us over the weekend. We were happy the weather turned out as nice as it was. The forecast had rain showers for Lake Geneva, but we lucked out. Grandma Deb & Grandpa Ken showed up Friday afternoon and we took them for a drive around town and gave them a little tour. We were admiring the lake front properties.

Saturday turned out to be a nice day. We went on the bike trail that morning. Mom brought her handy-dandy little scooter with so that she was able to join us for the bike ride. Bradley had fun riding with her.
We then went to the Apple Orchard to spend the afternoon. The boys really enjoyed this!
We went for a wagon ride around the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. Here is Carter peeking at me just before the wagon took off.

The wagon stopped in the apple orchard and we were able to eat and pick as many apples as we wanted.

Bradley had fun running through the trees and Carter had fun climbing the trees.

Grandpa lifts the boys up to pick an apple.

The next stop was the pumpkin patch. The boys could only pick one pumpkin since we will soon be going on our traditional pumpkin patch visit in Rice Lake with the Klimie cousins. They can't wait to go!!

Grandpa and Grandma treated the boys to a pony ride afterwards. Carter wanted to go again....and again.....and again....

We went out to eat on the way home. Sunday morning, we met Mom and Dad's good friend that lives in Lake Geneva for breakfast. It was great to see Beaa! We did a little window shopping down town and then out to see Beaa's house. It was a beautiful home. Mom and Dad had a safe trip home and made good time.

Thanks for visiting Grandpa Ken and Grandma Deb. We had lots of fun!! Come again...

Circus Wagon Celebration

Badgers had another win at the football game Friday night to Wilmot. The boys were cheering them on!

We had a tour of the Circus Wagon Celebration, a public display of historic circus wagons on Saturday. The boys thought this was very exciting, learning about all the wagons in the circus and the types of animals that were in the wagons.

Here were some historic pictures of the actual circus and the performances that were put on.

Carter found this event to be very exciting. He went around and took pictures that he wants to share with everyone.....

Bradley is pretending to be the lion in this cage on the circus wagon......

We listened to an air calliopes performance and a steam calliopes performance.

On Sunday, we went to Ava's 2nd birthday party in West Bend. Ava is Kirsten's youngest daughter. The boys had fun playing at their house. The guys watched the Packer game. We had lots of good food!
