Birthday Weekend in Chetek, WI

We enjoyed a couples weekend away at a cabin in Chetek, WI this past weekend. The kids went to my parents and had a blast as well! It was such a fun weekend for everyone! We relaxed with friends, caught up and relaxed some more. We were on a non-motorized lake (Fish Lake) and it was absolutely perfect for us! We swam out to the floating dock. The girls all relaxed on the trampoline and we soaked up some sun while we were at it! We played Celebrity at night and laughed a lot! It was perfect!

The kids had a blast in Owatonna as well! The circus was in town, so they went to the circus on Friday evening and really enjoyed that. Saturday was a busy day--they got donuts, went to a garage sale, fed the ducks, went to the library, played at the park, Bishop and my dad went fishing, had lunch at Mikkel Donald's and then had some quiet time at home. Nora had so much fun she fell asleep on the couch at 5pm! (She was up again before bedtime)!

On Sunday the kids went to church with my parents. We got up--had some breakfast, packed up and headed for home. We stopped in Hudson on our way home to visit my Grandma Cleo's gravesite. We also drove by her house (it looks great and has been updated/remodeled), grabbed a bite to eat for lunch and headed home.

The kids were so excited to celebrate my birthday with me--it was the sweetest thing! We had some cake with my parents and then they took off for home while we enjoyed an afternoon at home. Bishop had a great idea to make a pinata out of an old cereal box for my "birthday party"! We've made a few since then....including a water pinata! It was so fun and they were SO good to me! I'm just missing a picture with Luke on my birthday!

I love you, Dad!

I love you, mom!

The pinata! Nice work!

Blessed to celebrate with these 2!

 It was such a wonderful weekend! Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes--for our friends and a perfect weekend away.....and especially to my parents for taking the kids and making so many memories with them and making them so happy!
