Road Trip --- Wisconsin

Wisconsin Welcomes YOU! Home of Molly!

The first night in Wisconsin, Molly had night games at her house! She invited a bunch of people from her singles branch. This is a picture of a few of us on the teeter totter...don't you wish you had a teeter totter now! I do anyway! Molly lives in Farm House...I wish I would have taken more pictures of her house and yard, it was so picturesque!

On Monday we went to the beach! Lake Michigan is just a couple hours from Black Creek where Molly is from. It was a fun, relaxing day! Molly whipped out her umbrella to protect her from the deadly sun!

Fun at the beach! On the left you can see me "holding" a light house!

We also had to check out the Historic Washinton House, "Home of the Ice Cream Sundae!"


And what's a trip to Wisconsin without going to the cheese factory!!!! Mmmm! It really was awesome cheese!

Next stop, Aunt Patty and the Amish!

My Aunt Patty moved to Wisconsin about a year ago. I rarely get to see her, so it was a must that I go visit! She took us to where the Amish live. The Amish seemed to be very kind, plain, people. Most people waved as we drove by. The picture of the field and the hay stacks I found interesting...they do everything by hand so all of the stacks were racked up and the hay was put into piles, rather than the roles or squares of hay you typically see. All of the houses were white, with the exception of one red house...I don't know very much about their culture but it did peak my interest. Also, one family had a trampoline...strange...I can't blame them for wanting some modern toys though:).

On the left is a California Poppy. Aunt Patty insisted that I take a picture of it because she planted them and wanted my mom to see them. The California Poppy is the California State Flower. In the middle is my Aunt and her boyfriend Doug's house. And on the far right you can see a sign that they have at the entrance to their drive way. Molly and I were a little skeptical as we drove up, hoping that we had arrived at the right place. Turns out they have some strange neighbors and they put the sign up in hopes that they would stop trespassing...

It was so fun to visit with them! We had some great political discussions too!
