And then there were seven

 It is back to school time and we are meeting teachers, smiling for pictures and resetting our schedules.  The lockers are 'pimped out' and spread over four different schools. But added to the routines is the newest addition....Oliver.  He has been getting plenty of walks, baths and treats. He is learning plenty of tricks and sucking up plenty of attention.

Cooler by the lake....just a different lake!

 
 

  With the domestic duties done and some time before school started again we hitched up the camper and headed west to Wissota.  It was in the old stomping grounds but I hadn't spent any time there so it was a whole new park for our tribe of six to  explore.  The temps were cool by August standards and the swimming was limited but the butterflies were beautiful.  The park had a large area of new prairie  Grandprize and Grandma made a couple of appearances and brought along some carving materials and tennis rackets.  Pretty standard camping with biking, hiking, smores but we did add in plenty of poision ivy plants...nobody got the itch so that was a success!
