Trip to Onalaska, WI

Last weekend I picked James up early from school on Friday, we dropped Katie off at Mama Diane's and James and I headed to Onalaska, WI to visit our friends Reg, Alex, Nick and Nate.  They used to live in our townhouse complex until this past August.  This is the longest car trip James and I have taken and I was a little nervous on how he'd handle it.  It went very well.  James entertained himself nicely on the way there, no sleeping like I'd hoped!  He drooled as we drove past the Wisconsin Dells, I promised him a trip next spring, and marveled at all the interesting things we passed on our four hour drive.  Here are some pictures from the trip....

    Such city slickers...  had no idea what this was and then once I did, maple syrup collecting, I had to take a picture of it!

The beavers were gnawing on this tree and the boys were trying to finish the job...
