Our last hurrah

The kids spent some time without us in LaCrosse with two sets of their grandparents before school started. Dean and I went to meet them for a long weekend. We were able to go out on my dad's boat and enjoy the gorgeous day!


This bridge crosses over the Mississippi River, which is the official border between Wisconsin and Minnesota.


We stopped at a sandbar to play and eat. I didn't let the kids bring their swim suits because it was only 70 degrees and I thought it wouldn't be warm enough to swim. But they didn't care and went swimming anyway in their clothes. Then they would run up on the bank and warm up on the sand.

We had a great time! Thanks to Gpa & Gma Hennen for the boat ride and thanks to my mom for watching Ava.
