Wisconsin

After driving through Canada, we made our way to Minnesota with an overnighter in Wisconsin.  This is where we hit our first "road block."  Gucci hurt her paw somehow during a run with Peter and began limping.  By the time we got her to a vet in Madison, WI, it was very swollen and she couldn't walk on it at all.  The vet was unable to determine the cause but we put her on painkillers and antibiotics and now she's back to normal.  It calmed her down quite a bit for a few days, though! 

 

Note the booty.



We decided to stay the night in Wisconsin so that she could rest.  We found a super fun campground complete with a BMX track and raft pond. 

Peter would time the boys around the track and they would try to beat their personal records.



The raft pond was a new experience to the boys and their favorite raft was actually the flat one they could play "king of the raft" on and Brady discovered that he can do flips off the side!  (Our little daredevil...)

 It was all fun and games until poor Bray got attacked  by a horsefly on the top of his head and I had to jump in and save him (even though I was already showered and fully clothed!)  Those darn flies hurt! 



We also took a canoe down a quiet river into a lake.  Brady took a nap and the big boys used their nets to fish for minnows. 

 



The beautiful sunset made up for all of our bug bites!  This was the view from our campsite.





Next stop:  Annandale, MN to visit Jaime and Family!!
