Wisconsin 2012


We had a family trip to Wisconsin the last week in July to visit our extended Palmtag family. These are the princesses at the airport. They are becoming seasoned travellers and it's funny when people ask us if this is their first time on an airplane.  I can't even count the number of times they've flown!
When we got to Milwaukee, we had a great reunion with the whole Palmtag clan - all the family and grandkids were there for a big family dinner. The next day, we headed to Door County  for a mini-vacation at the Palmatg Cottage. As soon as we got there, the girls had to explore Grandpa's long dock on Sturgeon Bay.

Matt saved a birthday present for both girls to give them at the cottage - new 'big kid' fishing poles.' They tried them out of the dock and Brooke learned how to cast on her own.
 
 
 
 
Matt and Grandpa took the kids on a few fishing trips and Luci caught the first fish.
 
We had some rainstorms and saw a beautiful rainbow over the lake. It was so big that both ends didn't fit in the picture.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We took the kids to a local Petting Zoo/farm and the girls fed baby goats out of bottles and corn to the bigger animals.  Brooke's favorite part were the baby kittens and the horses.  Luci finally got brave enough to let the big goats and sheep eat out of her hand.
 
 
 
Umm. . . goats, can you get out of our way?
