Uncle Bill & Owen

My sister Leah & her husband Bill came to visit us a few weeks ago.  Their kids were at camp for the week so they decided to spend some time with us.  We went to Lake Geneva for a boat tour of the lake and did a food tour in the Old World 3rd St area in Milwaukee, but the highlight had to be seeing Bill interact with Owen.  Owen just loved him and you can tell by the photos that Bill couldn't get enough of Owen.  They were inseperable while he was here and just had a blast.

Memorial Day 2014

We decided to take some time and go to Lake Geneva over the holiday.  On our way down to the lake, we stopped in Burlington, WI for Chocolatefest.  (Not as much chocolate as I imagined but very similar to a State Fair type feel....which can also be fun....and fattening.)
 
 
Owen is obsessed with any large truck so getting to go up in a fire truck was a hit
 
 
Even got a new hat....which promptly was thrown to the ground
 
 
Eating pizza in Lake Geneva
 
 
Tuckered out from all the driving (and pizza)
 
 
Throwing coins in the fountain (His 1st lesson of The Law of Diminishing Return)
 
 
All set for a swim
(He whined and cried until we let him walk around the pool by himself.  He didn't want any help (which he inevitably received once he inexplicably put his head in the water)
 
 
Sun drying
 
 
We asked the 1 guy in Lake Geneva who was visibly annoyed to have
to take the 6 seconds it took to snap this photo

This is becoming much more commonplace...and I love it.

Never too early to start working the abs.
