Wisconsin Vacation

We had the most wonderful family vacation last week!! We flew to Wisconsin on a non-stop flight (major bonus) and spent 7 days seeing the sights and spending time as a family. It was great to be able to show Bruce and the boys were I grew up and also spend time with family and friends. I am so grateful for the energy I enjoyed while on vacation and for the memories we made. It was truly a dream trip for us! Here are some photos from our trip.


Xander and Ryker fighting over who gets to drive
Landon dreaming of freedom in the distant future.
The Scully Family
The boys and the scary bear at the resort.
Landon playing in the water. (Hopefully his last time with a life vest.)
Xander is a fish!
Ryker took a while to warm up.
My boys in the wave pool.
Getting ready for our first day in the water park. Ryker didn't understand the need for a swimming suit.
Bruce and I were able to attend my friend Jason's beautiful wedding and meet his wonderful wife, Paula.
The family outside Miller Park before the Brewer's game.
Landon loved the game!!
Jerry and I at the park.
We had a great time at the Milwaukee County Zoo!
We went with Katrina and kids.
It was great to spend the day with Katrina catching up.
We found a quiet beach on Lake Michigan. The only challenge was getting there...
Bruce and I had a great time watching the boys play on the beach.
Landon and Xander collected shells and Ryker collected rocks.
The boys resting on a bench after climbing half-way up the 8 flights of stairs. It was well worth the climb!

Looks like fun. It's great to take our kids to see where we're from. We're doing that this week in Idaho.
(Will you tell your mom that I enjoyed her talk soo much. I tried to talk to her after church, but she was in a conversation with someone else. She's an amazing woman.)

Thanks for fitting us into your jam-packed Wisconsin trip. Seeing you at the wedding meant the world to me, and getting some time to catch up at the game was priceless. Glad our picture made the blog! :) ~ Jason

Jeanel,

hey, its been a long time. I don't know if you have heard from Stephanie, but she just found out her 7 month old bay girl has lukemia. I am sure she would love to talk to you! She is up at Primary Childrens. If you want details, email me torri.phillips@gmail.com I am betting she would love to talk to someone who is going through similar situations!
