Alex had a work call this morning so we hung out and had a nice breakfast, did some bike riding and swimming. We packed up and took the boys to the Dells Mining Co and let them mine for gems. They all did a good job and walked away with a bag o’ gems. Most of you out there know how cheesy I am, right? So tell me how exactly, I have lived my whole life without having Wisconsin Cheese Curds? Did you know that cheese can actually squeak? We learned, from the cheese
guy,of course, that if they are fresh they squeak when you chew them. Who knew??? I guess you can also have them fried but since I am trying to be good I decided to pass. We are on the road from Wisconsin to Jackson, Minnesota. We changed our itinerary slightly. We were going to drive all the way to Sioux Falls, SD today but it would have been too much. We will stop in there tomorrow as we drive through. The back crew are still very busy…..Christopher is sleeping (we are running him ragged), Steven is reading and Andrew is busy playing his Gameboy. I will continue once we are in Minnesota.
As you can see, my children became cheeseheads prior to us leaving Wisconsin....how could we have been there without purchasing one of these??? I have a photo of Andrew wearing it also but he requested that I not post it to the blog....there are a few things that I must honor. Christopher wears it very proud and has not taken it off....it might even replace the Boston Red Sox cap.
Minnesota was quite uneventful....we arrived at yet another KOA and this one, without a doubt, is the smallest one yet. There seems to be a theme as we go across! We played a little basketball....Alex is the HORSE champion of the day, the boys swam, we had dinner and watched a movie. We are getting up early to head to South Dakota and hook up with Uncle Lance, Aunt Amy, Caitlyn, Carlie and Olivia - the boys can't wait to see their cousins!!

WOW- I cannot believe that you passed up a fried cheese curd! Seriously, what is that? Not loving the word curd. Reminds me of...
Steven this is Mark-
What a rip off- you had to bring your book on vacation! I feel bad.
Did you get a cheese hat like Boo Boo?? Happy the train is coming to the station on time. Mom just explained that- hahaha. Hope you have a great time. Mark.
Is a train pulling into the station similar to a "turtle head"? Are there some port-a-potty issues that are being conquered on this trip?
Alex, we brought your jelly on vacation with us and came home with an empty jar. "Great Stuff", it was a big hit.
Sounds like you guys are having a wonderful time, great to hear all the updates. Keep 'em coming.
ok...disregard my day 4 comment about Shari not having cheese, she waited for day 5 to share her experience. Have a fun day driving along the great highways of the US to S. Dakota!
All I can say if any of you ever had a thought of traveling the US via RV but found a reason to blow it off...you must do it. It is a great experience with the family. Growing up as a plane traveler, I always thought this RV stuff was a waste of time...not anymore, I am a real proponent.
