This year we decided to save money by flying into Chicago. By the time we added up the extra travel costs I think it was a wash. But we did have a great time visiting the Dells again and seeing John's brother and his family.
We spent about 2 weeks at the cabin. The weather was about as perfect as it can get. On a cooler day we went to Appa-lolly Ranch and took a trail ride. Emily was very excited that she was allowed to ride Iceman all by herself! She was especially happy that he listened to her when she gave him a command. Claire and Mommy doubled up on Zelda.
The girls spent lots of time with cousin, Joe. Mostly it was in the water but one night he invited us up to his cabin to make s'mores. While we were waiting for the coals, the kids fixed Joe's motorcycle.
Frogs were a theme this year. Emily and Malaya kept these two all afternoon. When it was time to release them, they were too traumatized to even hop away quickly.
Four cousins working on "Frog Kingdom" castle. They kept a royal family of frogs in fine style.
At the Polynesian Resort in the Wisconsin Dells, Mommy and Claire had fun riding tandem.
In Chicago, we spent the day at Navy Pier. The girls and their cousins explored the Children's Museum and the rides. All of us rode the giant Ferris Wheel. It gave us a beautiful view of the Chicago skyline.
