Green Lake

This summer we made our annual Green Lake trip.  This year marks the 10th year of our get together in Wisconsin... hard to believe! The first year we went, the Fishman, Nusbaum, and Finn couples were still only dating and through the years we have added Brittany Bauer and Aya Ivacic to the group.  Ten years later we have celebrated five marriages and added three munchkins to the group.  This year Mark Christensen introduced us to his girlfriend (another couple that dated in high school, in addition to the Finns and Nusbaums) and we feel as if our group is complete :) 


Sadly we experienced a 2.5 hour delay flying out of Boston :(  
Here is how Emma passed the time:


We finally made it! Mark purchased a beautiful Chris Craft so we all rode comfortably in two boats!




Two college roommates with....two potential college roommates?


Hanging out at the Sand Bar - Emma enjoyed socializing from the raft on her father's lap.


And the next day she chill-axed with her mom and Brittany on the raft...

This year we happened to be there for the Green Lake County Fair!  The three Finns popped by to see the animals and enjoy a slice of apple pie.  I am a huge cow enthusiast, particularly for black and white cows, so I was over the moon excited!




The farmer encouraged us to jump in and pet the 1,400 lb ladies.  




We also saw some chubby piggies



some sweet sheep


and got to feed some silly goats.



Below are pictures take in a noisy room filled with chickens, roosters, ducks, turkeys, bunnies, and even two peacocks.  So fun to see so many of our favorite animals! 




We LOVE Green Lake!
