A Day at the Lake

On Saturday, we woke up to a beautiful view of Fox Lake. Fox Lake is an inland lake about 1.5 hrs from Milwaukee.


We had breakfast and then went on a "Morning Toodle". Toodle is affectionately defined as a boat ride around the lake. You can go on lots of different toodles on the Pontoon Boat. You should also always wear your swimsuit on a Toodle because it may always turn into a Swimming Toodle. haha. Love it!!

Halfway around the lake, we all jumped off the boat for a swim. Ok, I didn't jump in but everyone else did. haha.

After boating, we came in and had lunch outside. Everyone loved the beers from New Glarus Brewing Co! After lunch, we went back out on the water. We took the speed boat out so we could get pulled on the tube and also do some wakeboarding. We have some videos of the tube rides that I will have post later.

After boating, I came home and took a nap in the hammock. It was wonderful!!

Soon, it was time for dinner. My Aunt made us beer can chicken. You basically place the whole chicken over a can of opened beer. It was delicious!

After dinner, we went on an evening toodle. haha. We were able to be out on the lake as the sun went down & the fireworks started!

Beautiful sunset

We finished the evening with s'mores! We made some of them with Reese's peanut butter cups & they were so yummy!


During the day, we also re-created the photo we took 20 yrs ago!
