We have safely returned from our wonderful trip to Wisconsin. THANK YOU to our favorite Aunt Nancy and Uncle Kevin for the hospitatlity, use of your toys, and a wonderful time! here's our trip in pics:
As promised, coffee and Jack's morning bottle by the lake
Hanging out with Aunt Nancy 
Jack and Grace all set up in their vacation house, and their view of the bunkhouse and the Lake 
Nick, Ryan and Soren off to fish.
According to all the fishermen (I'm not one of them), it was a great week for fishing and they caught plenty for an awesome fish fry. It was more of an "everything" fry. Thanks to Nick, Ryan and a giant deep fryer, we had fried fish, onions, mushrooms, perogies, and candy bars. Yes, there were fried candy bars. I didn't partake, but heard they were good. Grandpa also grilled fantastic steaks for everyone on Sunday night. Yaay for vacation food! Jack enjoyed lots of juicy melons, cheese on toast, and lots of crackers. He has two bottom teeth and is doing pretty well with the "people" food.
Jack and Grace slathered in bug spray and suntan lotion, chillin' by the Lake.
Jack's first boat ride
Trying to get Grandpa's hat. He also loves to grab glasses off people's faces. He'll trick them with a cute smile, and they think he's coming in for a cuddle, but then...SWIPE....the glasses are in his sticky little paws and shortly in his mouth.
We went to Hayward (nearby town), where Jack built a moose. It was a northern Wisconsin version of a "Build a Bear" store. We made a wish on a plastic star, put it inside and stuffed the moose. Jack was pretty indifferent to the whole process, as he just woke up from a car ride snooze, but now he has a super soft stuffed moose.
Enjoying a bedtime story with Laura and Grace
Our last night, Grandma and Aunt Nancy were kind enough to babysit so we could enjoy a night time pontoon boat ("booze") cruise with Laura and Ryan. We had dinner and drinks at a few bars on the lake, and managed to stay up past midnight---woo hoo! 
And, of course, we stopped at the Cheese Chalet on the way home. Curds. Yum.
Jack was really good on both car trips. As you can see, we had him stuffed in on the way home, surrounded by his toys. He is officially mobile, and I swear he grew about 6 inches in the past week. The progress he made in the week at the lake was amazing. He went from taking a few hesitant crawls to crawling across the room and even pulling himself up on his knees and into a wobbly stand. Go Jack!Our next trip is with Grammie to Maine in September! We can't wait!!

Thanks for sharing your little angel with Uncle Kevin and me. We really appreciated seeing Jack's smiling face and happy coos.
We had a great time and hope you did too.
Love to all . . .

Hey there,
I was dying for you to post something from the lake, but I know, you were in vacation mode. It looks like you had an awesome time, and you're right.. Jack is really growing. Gosh, crawling and standing...your life will be changed forever once again. He will come running to you with arms out..and it will melt your heart each and every time.
Love you guys bunches!!
