Trip to Wisconsin

I drove all the way from home to WI and stayed the night with my cousin Beverly!
The next day I made it to Reedsburg. This is their new home.
This is one view behind thier house. Really nice!

This was the view from the back patio during the full moon.

Solei is taking violin lessons from her mother. Here she is learning to hold the instrument with her chin.

Pepperoni Pizza bowing.

Trying the strings!

The end of the lesson.

We visited the hospital and learned about having a sibling.

They only have a few stores, which tend to sell EVERYTHING. The grocery store has a toy department with a 10 cent ride.

They are prepared for winter!

We went out and had fun too. One day we visited Circus World!!! We saw tigers and elephants and trapeeze artists.

Solei got to try a bit of balancing herself.
Saturday I went back to Baraboo to shop and visit and art fair. Sunday we went back again for church. What a great view from the church front lawn!

All dressed up.

With Mom and Dad.

With Nana.

We tried a new hairdo. She looks different!

Monday we went with the summer camp kids to the Wisconsin Dells. That is the very most touristy trap looking place I've ever seen - maybe right next to the LasVegas strip at night. But, behind one of the rinky tinky fronts was this wonderful place with storybook characters and lots of unusual animals. (Apparently WI is a big animal refuge area.)

Here is Humpty Dumpty.

And Cinderella.

The Little Red Schoolhouse.

And our own Goldilocks!!! Couldn't get Goldilocks to leave...

The class took a train ride.

I touched a real tiger (no photo).
And Solei got licked by a giraffe!

Conclusion: I liked it there and want to go back!!!
