Day 1 - Door County Vaca

Today was our first day in Door County. We started off with a laid back morning of cereal and snuggling on the couch. We went for a walk around the "neighborhood" which Torin happened to notice quite quickly that is was very different from ours. As there were no cars, no kids and just a lot of nature. It was awesome! We decided that it was warm enough to head to the beach so we got dressed, made lunch and headed out. Ephraim beach was the destination for today and it was great. The boys had so much fun just playing. There was not even a distant thought of whining. Very peaceful which is odd for me to say being with three boys at the beach but really it was great. After that we headed home to put Berc down for a nap, had a sitter come stay at the cottage in order to take the older boys to Johnson Park for go-carting, mini golf and batting cages. After that it was to Wilson's for some cheese curds and ice cream. How else do you end the afternoon in Door County :) Once we got home we woke Berc up and headed out for a few groceries. We made sloppy joes, beans and chips and the boys devoured it, even Berc. After I was done eating I started to do the dishes in which the older two helped dry the dishes. No dishwasher means that we are the dish washers. It was very nice to have the help :) We ended the night with a walk, baths and bed. I would have to say that the first day was a success and we are looking forward to tomorrow.

Just a randomly says, "Mom, look what I caught."
Who needs a swimsuit?
Loving the sun and vacation as much as I do :)
