Entering the Final Countdown
This is the last week home officially. Tomorrow I am going to make a list of the things I will miss about Wisconsin. It is probably too long for this post.
This past week was filled with fishing, talking to the nephews on Skype(it was Spencer's 4th birthday and I got to see him open my presents), eating out with my parents on Wednesday, winning another softball game on Tuesday, much reading, and going to Green Bay with my mom this weekend. It was a blast. Here are some pictures:
My beautiful bass!
Skype with the boys. Oliver is often close to the screen and saying "Hey, Alice" over and over. He also said the cutest thing while opening a present from me:"Alice so nice!" It melted my heart. Love these boys. Hard to believe my Spencer buddy is four already!
We went to Titletown in Green Bay on Friday for dinner. It's in the old train depot where my Grandpa, Aunt Linda and Mom had at one time worked. Lots of family history stories over dinner. Loved it!
A train coming by and the famous Packer statue.
Sno-Cap rootbeer. Wonderful! That Grandma is pretty wonderful too!!
Grandma and Linda
Me and Mom
I liked this sign.
We went swimming at my Aunt Cindy's on Saturday.
I like this sign too!
My silly grandma told me she couldn't fit in her suit anymore and then surprised me. She is so cute!
Mom and I have done lots of traveling in storms this summer. It makes for pretty clouds and sunsets.
And rainbows.
My friend, Jane will get here tonight. Gotta think up some great Wisconsin adventures to show her. Any ideas?

Post Two of the Day.
*I posted another post below this one. Do not miss it. It is fantastic. I think posting twice in one day makes up for not posting in over a week, right?
The Clydesdales were in Rhinelander to deliver beer. I like the horses at least.
My cousin and her cute and funny kiddos came to visit!
My Aunt Linda also came. My mom Sue even stuck around for the get together! :)
I love the dalmatian.
Thomas loves to read. I had to take this picture because he looked like an old man reading the daily paper in the right chair for it. (sorry dad!)
I make a mean pizza. Delish.
Sunset at Hodag Park.
There was a ski show that night. I like watching them jump!
I went disc golfing Monday at the new course in Rhinelander. It is fabulous!
Marla and I enjoyed Briq's after my game last night. I am so glad the will put half coconut and half sprinkles so I can get the best of both worlds.
I am making sure I cram as much fun as I can in the next 10 days. Time had gone fast. I will miss this place!

Slack Post
Here are some pictures from the past week that have not made it on here yet. I think I have been off having fun so I missed some stuff and haven't been writing regularly.
Kurt and I went canoeing. It was gorgeous. I definitely love my Perch Lake(I am planning on fishing there this afternoon.)
It was worth the 35 dollars to rent this canoe for the day!
I took Kurt to the world famous(or at least Wausau famous!) Wausau Mine Company.
It was delicious. Good thing I don't live in Wausau because these buggers are part of the reason I gained four pounds this week(it may have been worth it!)
We also went to The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. It was Hippotastic!
My favorite statue in the garden!
My nephew's band's cd was released nation-wide. It's in Hot Topic stores. Go Serianna!(you would like it if you like scream metal!)
Kurt at The Logging Museum in Rhinelander. We went there the last day he was in Wisconsin.
With The Hodag!
I am going to post another post with more pics. There are a lot for one post.

Fun Times Ten.
It has been a long time since I last posted. This probably means I have been having lots of fun and living in the moments. Lately, I have been running around and showing a friend who is visiting from Utah(and yes he is a man) the cool stuff in Wisconsin. It has been fun to have somebody to explore with. He reads this blog so I am going to keep it real simple. If you want more detail, feel free to email or call or text. I am not hard to reach!
Before Kurt got to wisconsin, I did have a fun night with my parents and nephew. We had The traditional tacos on Wednesday(inside because it was bloody hot) and then had an ice cream treat from Briq's.
This kid cracks me up. I am already missing him this week.
This guy is the life of the party. He was bugging E about having a cheeseburger and E said: "Grandpa a burger without cheese is like shoes without laces. Oh wait...you wouldn't understand." So funny. Another quote from these two comedians:
Elijah: Grandpa you shouldn't drink coffee it stunts growth.
Dad: Well, before I drank coffee I was three feet tall, and look at me now!
Elijah:"Were your ears the same size then?"
Mom enjoys the company. Sometimes she laughs so much she cries.
Mmm...slush float. Hadn't had one in years!
View of Wausau from the top of Rib Mountain(it's more of a hill if you live in Utah, but Kurt gives his approval that Wausau can continue to call it a mountain!)
King of the world. Or mountain. Or hill.
Chillin' like a villian on The Queen's Chair.
Happy Hikers.
Alice Rocks.
We then went to Oshgosh for Potterfest at the public museum on Friday. My cousin, Danielle, and her husband met us for lunch and the exhibit. It was fun and we even enjoyed the other local history exhibit that also was going on at the museum.
We then met friends in Wausau for a Wisconsin Woodchucks game. There were even fireworks afterwards.
Saturday, we hit a church picnic and then spent time with family.
Sunday we went to church and enjoyed more time and great food with the family. Been good adventures!
We clean up nice. I may have been a little squinty in this pic.
My seester is silly and I love that she came to visit this weekend. She also takes nice pictures!
This is not one of them!
The end!
