For over 30 years my family has been going to our favorite park in SW Wisconsin. I remember all the years in the camper on Friday nights passing by many a high school football stadium with the lights blazing, wishing I were cheering on our own Cardinals. Now, I cherish that time and give my parents a lot of credit for standing up for family and forcing us to go. Now it certainly is the place that I want to be with my kids.
We love to camp on the ridge at Wyalusing State Park where the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers meet. The sounds of airplanes landing below us, trains crossing the river bridge, a few animals in the distance and our children playing happpily are about as good as it gets.
My whole family gathered at Wyalusing this weekend and it was great! Perfect weather, the apple festival at Gays Mills, cheese curds from the little dairy at Mt. Sterling, sugared apple cider donuts, bundles of wood for the fire, plenty of pumpkins carved, lots of food eaten, three breakfast meats!, you get the picture!
While there, my parents celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary and I thank God we are all healthy and able to be together. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! Thanks for a great weekend. We missed the game Friday night this time too, it was worth it!
