I love summer

Now I already knew I loved summer. But just in the past week or so I realized all over again that I really really love summer. That are so many activities to do, even if it is just playing ball or swimming in the backyard.
We've recently discovered a new favorite spot. Governor Nelson State Park. It's fabulous. We've lived here for so long (going on 13 years for me minus the AZ and CA stints) and never knew it existed. Just in the past couple weeks we now have a WI state parks sticker and have gone to Nelson at least 4 times. What more could you want from a park and to have it only 20 minutes away, so wonderful. I took the boys there today for fishing, lunch and swimming. It was beautiful and high 80s outside. The boys swam in the lake and Jack and I sat in the sand. It wasn't super relaxing with Jack constantly trying to stick sand in his mouth, but fantastic none the less. I could go to the beach every day. There is something about warmth, sand and water that just makes me happy inside.
I want the summer to slow down. It is going way too fast. Last weekend we were back in LaCrosse because my brother and his family was back in town from Texas. It was so nice to see them. The kids got along great right from the start. Then after we came back to Madison on Sunday night Mike was crying in his bed because he missed Livi and Ella so bad already. It was incredibly sweet.
Well the night is getting away from me and I still have seriously, no lie, 7 loads of laundry to fold. I swear laundry is the bane of my existence. I will never be on top of laundry and I don't plan to try. I am throwing in the towel....but just not into the washing machine. :)
Thanks for checking in with us and have a great holiday weekend!
