Blue Mounds State Park, Wisconsin

August 9-14 was spent with the Van Maanen family at Blue Mounds State Park, Wisconsin. It was a great time with many new adventures for Asher. And really for Jonathan and I because we've never been camping with child. It's a whole new world of responsibility keeping your eye on a curious toddler. We tried to let him have some freedom and do some exploring on "his own." We love to watch him try new things and explore creation. It's a lot of fun!

Here are a few pictures of our time in Wisconsin. Pictures really do say a 1000 words.
