Weekend in Wisconsin

This last weekend, we took a little trip to stay at a cute little farm house in the Middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. The best part was meeting up with our dear friends from Virginia who now live in Minneapolis. Dillon and Lorelei picked up right where they left off. The moment they saw each other they were giggling and having a blast doing something as simple, and helpful, as carrying things into the house.

It was so awesome to just be outside (minus the bugs). No TV, no computers, just together time.

The farm was beautiful.

We had fun biking...

swinging...

eating fresh donuts from an Amish bakery...

picking blueberries...

swimming in the lake...

(sorry these are so small. I guess that's what happens when you steal them from Picasa!)

And just being with friends.

We attempted a little photo shoot while we were still in our church clothes on Sunday. It was obviously a little too bright for me and Dill.

And another little one. I'll try to fix these later.

We had a great time. It was truly relaxing. Halfway through the trip I realized I hadn't looked at my watch once. We just ate when we were hungry, slept when we were tired and played as much as possible. The kids were adorable together. Wesley was very careful to keep the rest of us quiet when Violet was sleeping. "Shhhh, Bilet seeping!" And Dillon and Lorelei played perfectly---no arguing, just a lot of fun. Thanks for coming, guys. We miss you already. Let's do it again soon.
