Driving across Wisconsin -

We left our campground around 9 this morning, we were in no rush, we only had a couple hours drive to go but we had several stops we wanted to make along the way.  About half way from where we were camped at and our daughters house is a fairly large outlet mall and I actually wanted to stop and see if there were any good sales as I have found some before – I was looking for a lightweight long sleeve robe to keep in the camper – one that wouldn’t take up much room.  I have been chilly often in the morning and have resorted to wearing a sweatshirt jacket at times   I found one and another pair of long pajama pants that I probably won’t need again after this week until fall!  At the way the weather is going at home the A/C will be on until well into October

The outlet mall:

The other stop we wanted to make was at a winery.  We had taken a tour through Wollersheim  Winery two years ago and had a wine tasting and we had found one we loved but cannot find in Arkansas and you can’t order it from out of state so we thought seeing as it was on the way we would stop and buy some to take home with us.  We don’t really drink all that much! But it is nice to have a wine that you like.  Here are some photos of the winery  – they have great landscaping.

And no I did not go up these steps! I have had enough of that seeing as my daughter lives in a two story house I will be getting enough steps in – there is a steep side walk though that we had to go up instead.

Pretty flowers – it is warmer here than usual also for the summer, but they have had a bit of rain.

A pretty arbor:

I love the twisted shape of the tree – the branches come over the sidewalk just right:

More pretty flowers:

Some of the mature vines:

And more vines:

We got to the campground we are staying at around 1 and Jessica and the kids got there a short time later – the kids wanted to play in the campground playground which they remembered from the last time we were there. (we are lucky in that the campground is on the edge of town and on the same side they are on – about a 5 minute drive)

Our grandson Utah playing horseshoes and goofing off:

Our granddaughter Ciera and our daughter Jessica in the pink shirt – our campsite is there over to the right across from the playground – nothing special about the campsite – but nice that the campground owner recognized me as I walked in the door – of course it was in the computer that we were recurring customers – but good relations to be so friendly – said she couldn’t believe it had been two years since we were there – I flew in last fall as Mike couldn’t make it as he was working then so I hadn’t been camping.

Getting his exercise – kids will be kids – instead of sliding down he was running up and balancing himself on the edges – he is a karate kid and has his moves down really good.

Looking thoughtful about something – very windy day and the hair wouldn’t stay still:

The dogs – Max is the larger and about 5 years old, Marley is the smaller one and is 4 months old – she will be a big dog too.

Tomorrow morning I will be breaking my promise not to buy fabric this year (I said I would only get backings and background – maybe that is what I will get I don’t know?) – I am going to my favorite quilting store – Millhouse Quilts first thing in the morning.  The quilt store is in the next town over, only about 10 miles away.  I love that place, such a big old building.  Jessica and the kids do not get off to as early of a start as we do in the mornings so I will be going over there in the morning and then over to Jessica’s later in the morning.
