We headed up to Oconomowoc Wisconsin for my nieces' High School graduation party and a family get-to-gather. We got up there Friday night to start with a pizza party and bonfire. The following day was the graduation party. We got to visit with a lot of family and friends. She starts Michigan State next month.
The next day, the visiting continued after church and then we headed to Delafield for the Derby Days festival. We watched a parade, enjoyed a couple of different bands preform, and watched some of the frog jumping. We got some card playing in as the "shark" sharpened her skills.
Monday was a hiking day. The ladies went shopping, except Lora who did some hiking with us in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. There was a lot of cross country ski trails and we visited the observation tower. Lots of wildlife and wild flowers. We climbed the second highest peak in Wisconsin.....Not too high. Afterwards some of us headed over to see McKinley's horse riding training.
Tuesday we headed we headed out to the Nemahbin lakes area and did some kayaking. We paddled a few different lakes connected by creeks doing lunch on the shore. We checked out six different kayaks to get the feel of them. Dad put on a show for us and was surprisingly the only one to flip over. Mom finished up being towed back to port by Steve.
Steve, Kathy, and Betty left Wednesday. We had a down day and did a little shopping.
Thursday we attended the Oshkosh Air Show. We had a great day for it and they had a great show for us. The highlight included the Thunderbird's, and a wing walker who tweeted while on the wing. Lots and lots of airplanes.
Friday was clean up day and headed down to Golden lake for some swimming and a boat ride.
We managed to get in chicken and sliders and the homemade beef soup traditions.
