Wisconsin Fun!!!

Joe had fall break, so we decided to head up to Wisconsin. We spent 4 days in Oshkosh (Joe's side) & 2 days in West Bend (Carrie's side).
With Joe's family we hit up one of our favorite Wisconsin places: "The Little Farmer" in Fond du Lac (the city where we lived before ND). Here's Sawyer feeding a goat:

With Grandma Kindt on the hayride:
Climbing the hay castle with Daddy:

Checking out the ox-like-cattle-animals with his Aunt Lisa:

In Oshkosh, there's an amazing wooden playground that Joe actually helped build when he was a teenager. We took Sawyer to it for the first time:

Joe raked up leaves for Sawyer and Uncle Peter to play in:

When we headed down to my parents' place, the first order of business was to go meet Grandma's new pony, Dusty. Sawyer looooooved him & had to help with everything (notice he's holding his rope):

Grandpa fired up the new little tractor so Joe could take Sawyer for a ride around the farm:
On Wednesday, we went to Lizard Mound County Park, which is an old Indian grounds full of burial mounds/effigys. It was a really cool experience to learn as much as we could about this tribe of Wisconsin Indians that practically disappeared... except for all of these hand crafted mounds scattered all over the forest.


Joe loves to climb:

What a beautiful fall day! Looks like we went to visit Wisconsin right at the right time.

Sawyer is so adorable. I bet you have so much fun with him at his age!

Looks like you guys had a great time. We miss fall...but we're going up to Idaho Falls for 3-4 days this weekend and hope to get our fill there.

Funny, we were just in Wisconsin for my fall break as well! We stayed with Monica the second week of October and then I had to come back for school. It was warmer than Utah and the fall was indeed beautiful!
