We kicked off the week of vacation by hosting a party for our friends on July 9th. We were super happy to have a perfect hot & sunny day for our pool party. So many wonderful friends came to the party and we loved catching up with everyone.
Monday marked the first day of Matt and I's staycation. We were eager to have a couple days at home, spending time with Luke and enjoying some downtime. Not 15 minutes into our morning we experienced a short thunderstorm that knocked out our power! Since this just happened a few weeks ago, Matt was an old pro at getting the generator up and running to save our fridge and keep the sump pump running. This time was more of an inconvenience for us because (a) we didn't just leave for work all day like last time, and (b) it was much hotter outside so the lack of air conditioning was more of a problem. Fortunately the power came back on by Tuesday night, in time for our trip to Wisconsin Dells on Thursday.
We did a few fun things around town, power or not. On Monday we visited Lamb's Farm, on Tuesday we took Luke to his music class and visited the dog park, and on Wednesday Matt and I went canoeing while G&G Baranko watched Luke.

On Thursday we headed up to Wisconsin Dells with Kristin, Cory, PJ, Mom and Dad. Aunt Susan generously gave us the second half of her week of condo rental, thanks so much! We did so much in just a couple days: we went go karting, we went on a Duck Tour, visited Noah's Ark, had breakfast at Paul Bunyan's and spent an afternoon at gorgeous Devil's Lake beach.
Finally, on Sunday we helped Kristin & Cory throw Paige's 3rd birthday party. What a fabulous party they had, complete with a giant Bounce House, craft table and Slip 'N Slide. Miss PJ had a blast with her friends, and we had a blast with the adults.
All in all, we had a fantastic week! Sad to see it end.
We loved having Luke all to ourselves for 9 days straight. As usual, he was adorable and fun the whole time. AND he has totally became a walker, now walking more than crawling!
