Wisconson Part 1

This summer Skylar and I (Julie) had a chance to go to WI. It was Skylar's first trip. We packed everything we could into not so many days. seeing family and friends all over the state. It's a great thing we had a driver for the week! Thank you David. I know if my mom would have been driving we would have taken a detour here and there and visited people in Maine and Florida. Just kidding Mom.

It was a real treat for me to watch Skylar play in Aunt Dorothy's yard and feed the deer like I did when I was her age. We played on the doc, walked through town, and ofcourse...we ate lots of Mad Dog Jakes Ice Cream! Made the whole trip worth it. Ha Ha!

On a side note...Aunt Dorothy always took us Albino deer watching when we visit. But there has always been some reason I can't go along. Well...Aunt Dorothy....I saw an Albino deer here in Morgantown, WV. Finally....I get to see one!













Julie and Skylar on the sore where Uncle Vic's Doc used to be.

Beach 2009 - Skylar's FIRST Beach Trip!!!

Julie and Skylar




I walked down to Skylar to ask her why she was standing like this. Her reply was "Syee surfee." Translation - Skylar's Surfing. I didn't even know she knew what surfing was. Apparently she picked this up during the week and decided to try it out. Her only mistake was that she was waiting for the water to come to her. This was the cutest thing to watch!!!

Skylar and Cousin Jaxon

Lounging - Too cool for everyone else!

Ahhh....Skylar running at Julie before she tackeled her. Thanks Skylar!




Not sure what this is about but Skylar thought this was sooooo much fun!


Baywatch here she comes!





Mother and Daughter!

We have made it home safe and sound from the Mercer Family Beach trip. I can't say it was relaxing but it was a ton of fun. Dirk spent much of his time in the water with our fearless water-bug Skylar and when she wasn't swimming she and I were running up an down the beach collecting shells and digging holes for people to trip in later.
