We spent this past week at the Reuhl cabin in Eagle River, WI with Mama, Katie, Maddie & Hayden. It was a blast. You won’t believe all of the things we did and how many of them were firsts for me!

I went swimming in a lake for the first time…

I rode in a speed boat for the first time…

I jumped on a trampoline in a lake for the first time…

and Mama and I rode a jet-ski together for the first time! I think that’s the most ‘firsts’ covered in one day for me—ever!

Maddie and I cheered on Katie as she attempted jumping into the slightly chilly water. (91 degrees outside, 70 something in the water)

Later, we were crazy enough to get into the hot tub too. (90 degrees outside, 90 degrees in the water)

All of that swimming made us hungry and ready for something cold to eat!

What better way for a beautiful day to end than with this sunset…wasn’t it amazing?

We also traveled to Bond Falls State Park in Paulding, MI (right inside the U.P. border). There were lots of trails for us to walk on…

and they all ended at an absolutely amazing waterfall.

Of course we made a couple of extra stops along the way. We’re the king and queen of the world and Hayden can be our jester!

Back at the cabin we spent a lot of time playing on the swing set—Hayden even tried pushing Maddie and I to get us started.

We had an absolutely amazing time…crazy faces included. Thank you to the Reuhls for sharing such a fun place with us!

The only boring part was the ride home, but thank goodness Mama had her cellphone. I was able to catch up with my homies and find out everything that happened while I was on vacation!

AND NOW…for the part you’ve all been waiting for…YOU WANTED THE BEST…YOU GOT THE BEST!!! THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD…KISS!!!

Well, that is us posing as devoted KISS fans. Papa and I went to my first KISS concert ever last night (Saturday) at Milwaukee’s Summerfest. Let’s go!!!

We’ve got our Gene tongues ready…what else could we need??? The KISS concert was awesome—I even made it through 2 hours of late night music (with headphones of course!). Everyone at Summerfest thought I was the cutest fan and even told Papa he was ‘raisin’ me right’ by taking me to see KISS. I’m going to remember it forever! I hope everyone’s week rocked as much as mine. We’ll see you next week!
