Did you know that "wau" means "water"? Just ask my friend Rick... he will tell you all about it!
We had the opportunity to spend a weekend on the lake in Waupaca, Wisconsin with some good friends! It was a great opportunity for the boys to fish, me to learn to shoot guns, pumpkin carving, and one 35 degree dip in the lake by two un-named gentlemen.
Beautiful lake house that Chris's grandpa designed!
The happy couple
The Skallerups
The boys went fishing... I love how Bart is bundled up and Chris is in his shorts and t-shirt :-)
... while the children (and Monica) napped!!
Bart taught me how to shoot a gun. The story behind this is: one time Bart handed me a loaded gun and I put my finger on the trigger (thinking I was super cool showing off my cute Charlie's Angel gun pose) and as he was lunging towards me I realized I probably should NOT shoot his TV... after that he was determined to teach me how to shoot. After an intense gun safety course in my living room (with an unloaded gun) he decided it was time to try it out. Believe it or not I did hit the target... once I figure out there was a dot at the end of the gun you're supposed to line up through the scope thing... ok maybe I need another lesson...
Pumpkins were carved!!
Notice who is better with children... Chelsea or Monica....
We had such a great weekend with the Skallerups and look forward to many more weekends of card games... don't think I won't making you all play until I finally win one!!! Thanks for all the laughs!
