Family visit

At the end of July/beginning of August my family came to visit for 10 days and we all had sooooo much fun together! Of course it wouldn't be a "Stenen" vacation without it being jam-packed full of activities. So, to start we all spent some time swimming and rock climbing at the Y. Hunter tied his personal best so he was happy with that.  Even Tyler and Brody got in on the action and did some "bouldering."  Cousins Anthony and Bella went up as well.  Even Uncle Mark gave it a go!  Next up, Hunter went to the EAA Air Show with his cousin Anthony, Auntie Jen and Uncle Darrin. A very hot summer day but fun nonetheless.  Anthony is big into planes so he was in heaven!  Then we all spent the next three days in the Dells. The highlight (of the entire summer in Hunter's opinion) was Noah's Ark. He had an absolute blast riding all the waterslides he could. He only backed down on one, "The Point of No Return," which as rumor has it is so steep that you don't even touch the slide for part of the ride. It's like a free-falling body slide. NO THANK YOU! I was kind of happy he chose not to go down it. Pretty scary. We all really liked the new slide called "Quadzilla."  You get to race up to three other people, which was super fun.  The day we were there it started out a little cold, rained for a little while around lunchtime but then cleared up and ended up being a beautiful day.  All that led up to a relatively empty park so short lines so we were happy!  We also went mid-week so that helps.  While in the Dells we also did The Army Ducks (a Wisconsin Dells must), mini golf and Go Karts. It was a very fun time had by all. Once we returned home we spent the next few days bonding with my Dad. We all went out on the boat and hung out on the beach the first day. That was followed up by a trip to a really fun park in the area and finally a Brewer Game where Hunter was able to march with the Scouts around the warning track. Hunter spent some quality time fishing with his Grandpa which he thoroughly enjoyed.  Especially the part where Grandpa took him shopping for some new lures.  He was loving that!!!  Even Grandma Ruthie joined us later on in the week. So so much fun!!!
