4th Fun

Rene went out west over the 4th of July to a family reunion. Ben, Shannon and Macey went to Chicago to visit her dad, grandma and other family. I'm not sure what Joseph, Tracy and Afton did. Those of us left in northcentral Wisconsin had a fun time. Janet was off work on Friday, so Joanna, Janet and I went down to Wisconsin Dells to the outlet mall there. After shopping, we went into Wisconsin Dells proper to walk around. It's very, very, very touristy, but we enjoyed a short walk along the river to see the dells.

Joanna and Janet tried out this machine that tests their love connection. Sadly, neither of them scored very high.

On the 4th itself, Preston and Emily went up to Tomahawk, where Preston ran in a 10k and did well. Afterwards, we met up for a picnic in one of the parks that Janet has worked at this summer. Preston did the grilling.

At the park, there is a fitness trail that Janet helped build. We checked out our fitness levels and Joanna and Janet performed some gymnastics moves reminiscent of Shannon Miller.

We came home for cake made by Emily and Preston. Joanna, Janet, Emily and Preston drove down to Mosinee to see the fireworks and then came home for sparklers. It was a relaxing and laidback 4th.
