We headed to Devil's Lake State Park. It is a quick 30 minute drive, and the best way to get there is across on the ferry. The kids thought it way the BEST!
As soon as we got there, the kids found this plaque. They stopped and posed by it. I asked if they wanted their picture taken and 2 of the 3 wanted to!
We started the day of with a hike up the bluff. This is the first pit stop, of many.
Collin was determined to keep up with the other 2. At times, he had to climb up the step because it was too big for him!
Another pit stop!
My love.
It pays to have a 6 1/2 year old who loves to take pictures and who is really good at it!
The boys
The little 2 were tired and thirsty so I carried Collin all the way down while holding Brielle's hand. These two climbed higher.
This was their view. They also saw a turkey vulture.
Steve and Isaiah did a little fishing, but right behind them you can see a train. Collin was out of his mind excited when he heard and saw the train! It might have been the best part of his day!
Brielle is a beach girl! She loves it all. She was buried in the sand.
Collin needed in on the action too!
Steve was the next victim.
His head is covered with the white shirt.
It took awhile!
Brielle caught a tadpole
Then she dropped him on the ground where we performed a dramatic search and rescue.
We capped off the day searching for a pizza place. We found our new favorite place with pizza almost as good as Jersey pizza. We can't wait to go back.
The next day we did a little fishing.
Brielle caught the first fish.
Collin got to hold it!
and throw it back.
Isaiah held the fish he caught.
Daddy and his little girl.
Father/son time. Isaiah learned how to take the fish off the hook.
After some fishing, we headed downtown to the block party. Our favorite kids performer was playing. We had some pizza in the street and laughed!
Proof that I go to these things too!

We capped off the day with an ice cream cake to celebrate Dad!
