Heading out. . .

Wisconsin, here I come!

I'm heading out to Wisconsin this week; Erik will join me in about a week and a half. Then he gets to meet family and friends and see Wisconsin for the first time!! :-D

Happy Independence Day!!

We spent the 4th of July in Santa Maria with Patrick & Debra (Erik's brother & sister-in-law) and friends and had a wonderful time!

Pippin's cousins, Josh & Chuck
We shared the 3-D glasses as Pat set off the fireworks. . . RAINBOWS!!!
Wilson (Mark) & Patrick
Bonnie, Laurence, Debra, Erik & Patrick
Pippin actually sat through all the fireworks--even the loud ones at the end. Then he went inside to lay down and have a little quiet time.
Laurence and Patrick enjoyed torturing Debra with Various Firework Antics. . .
There was much running and chasing and sniffing and racing about. . . and in the end they all crashed together.
