*warning: picture overload below!
This July, Ryans brother Willie and his family came out for a visit. I know, Im so behind with blogging! This was the first time we had cousins come to visit, so we made the most of every minute! Ryan and Willie kicked things off with a good ol game of Bocce. Take it easy boys! Willie took the liberty of mowing a big 'Y' into our lawn for added enjoyment. The lawn is still greener where the Y was. I guess the Y makes everything better. (:
The Kenosha tour begins, starting with the Kenosha museum.

Fishy Faces 
Afterwards, a stroll through the local farmers market...with a little added horseplay.
Up next: a trolley ride.Madi and Libbie.
Stopping at a tour around Columbus and a stroll by Lake Michigan. 
Who can ever come to visit without a tour of Jelly Belly? 
Sunday events took place down by the lake again.
A quick stop by the park before it gets too dark.
Monday: Beach Day at North Beach.
Zack ended up not feeling well, and just layed in the sand.
Another day, another park.
After a long day!
Tuesday consisted of a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry. The kids all had a lot of fun, and we found ourselves running to see more before the museum closed. I think we were one of the last ones out after they shut the lights out on us! It was definately a museum made for Zack, with trains, cars, fire trucks, tractors, boats, space...the list goes on and on! I wont make you scroll through pictures. Heres a slide.
The next two days were spent soaking up the sun and water at Wisconsin Dells. Details of that in the post below! We had so much fun with our family! We hope they will come and visit us again! Thanks guys!

I think that museum is a really fun one too. We loved the make a toy part.
I had no idea that statue was Columbus. I've always wondered who it was and what the significance of it is.
Do you know why they have a Columbus statue there? Just for fun?
Looks like you hit all the local stops. I have never been to the Museum of Science and industry. I was thinking of going to one of the museums before school starts but I was thinking the Field or Shedd. I had no idea MSI was a kid friendly one. I have been to the other two so maybe I will try that one. I wonder if we will ever see all there is to see out here?
I am glad your family was able make the trip. Looks like you made the most of your time with them.
