Family Time

A weekend with the family, priceless.   Lots of laugher, great food and many stories.

Bike man, the Son and I headed down to Southwest Wisconsin for a quick family reunion and to celebrate October.  Since my sister Debbie and her family were visiting from Jacksonville, Florida, it was a must that we visit the local apple orchard. 

 

Of course we had to sample the apples, fresh apple cider donuts, apple cider, and Weggy Wine from the local winery. 

 

It wasn't the best weather this weekend, but the rain held off and we were just left with cloudy, and humid conditions.  I think the most fun was watching the Oktoberfest parade last night with all the festive lights from the parade participants.  Had some good laughs with my sisters and reminiscing our marching band days in the color guard.  Sorry, no pictures to share of the night parade! 

 

So what was the highlight of the weekend?  Watching my niece's husband jump out of the car so he could run into the cornfield.....yup, a field of good old Wisconsin cow corn.  You see, this was his first trip to Wisconsin.  Geez, if he gets excited about our field corn, wait until he experiences our frozen lake!  I can't wait to get him out walking around on frozen Tainter Lake.  Now we just have to get them all to come back during the winter months.

Had a lot of fun this weekend with Lynn & Debbie's family, but it was just too short a trip.
