As a family, we were at the Parker Compound in Hancock, Wisconsin. Below are some pictures from our trip. A few tips for the slideshow and my captions. If you want the autoplay to stop, simply hit the pause button (of course), but as a heads up, the pause button comes and goes depending on where you place your mouse/cursor.
Secondly, if you want the captions feature off, click on the the little word bubble in the bottom left corner (again its presence or absence will depend on where you cursor is).
Finally, you can also watch the slideshow on Picassa. Click on the colorful Picassa rainbow circle at the bottom right of the slideshow AND THEN click on the hypertext that says "2014-7-21." Clicking on that will take you to the Picassa site, which has a slideshow option that is much cleaner and easier to look at. If I were, say, a grandparent, these extra steps may be worth the hassle since I don't get to see these kids much. Sorry I cannot put the link in directly but I have to write this post in HTML mode and it has been too long since I shared a link posting this way and I have forgotten how to do it. I really wish this weren't so clunky, but for some reason Google, who owns both Blogger and Picassa, has chosen to make interfacing between Blogger and Picassa difficult. I think they want to steer everyone on Blogger to Google Plus, but that is just a guess.
Anyway, the trip itself was awesome. Everyone had a lot of fun and I am sure it is fun for Emily to see her kids grow up with their (second) cousins making memories in the exact same place Emily did, with her own cousins, who are now moms with her. I know I enjoyed watching my kids enjoy themselves.
