Lake Lawn 2015

We made our annual trip to Wisconsin with the Zukowski family.  The last few years we have gone to Lake Geneva but this year we went to Lake Lawn.

I told Wally that I think this place was like Kellerman's in Dirty Dancing back in the day.  He just laughs at me.  It's a really quaint place with a lot of stuff right on site.

We arrived early Friday afternoon since Luke had a baseball game on Thursday night.  We quickly at some lunch and then went straight to the pool!

That night we went on a boat ride that took us on a tour of Lake Lawn.

The next morning we visited the park and did some miniature golfing.

I have to say miniature golfing was hilarious (at least to Wally & I). Paige had no clue what she was doing but somehow she would get a hole in one or two-putt. Then Luke would get really mad about it...all you could do was laugh! Our foursome!

That afternoon, we headed to the pool again. The clouds came in and the wind picked up and it was chilly, but I was determined to swim that afternoon. And sometimes you need a picture to document that mommy's get in the pool too!

After complaining from the kids, we headed to the indoor pool where it was a little warmer.

Nothing like skipping our way back to our room!

That evening we had a nice dinner at the hotel and then Wally and I headed to the bar later that night!

Lake Geneva 2014

In mid-June, we headed up to Lake Geneva for our annual Zukowski trip!

The kids headed up early on Thursday with Grandma & Grandpa where they hit up the waterpark and the Illinois Bar Association family night.  Wally and I met them later that night after work.

Friday was a day full of swimming!

That night we headed downtown for some dinner and dessert!







It was another fun year up in Lake Geneva!

It was a...

PARTY....where we found out if Baby Z. #3 was a boy or a girl!

We had our anatomy scan last Friday morning and asked the tech if she could tell the sex, to write it on the notecard and put it in the envelope. (More details on the scan later this week if I can get myself back in front of the computer!).

Then the wait began! Friday morning to Sunday at noon is a long time :)

Friday morning to Sunday at noon was a long time to wait, but I truly wanted to be surprised! Some random worker at Party City was the first to know whether we were having a boy or girl - she filled our giant black balloon with either pink or blue confetti!

IMG_1789_2.jpg

Luke said it was a "pink and blue" party!

IMG_1794_2.jpg

I asked our families to wear blue or pink, whichever they think!

Here is Team Blue!

And Team Pink!

We couldn't wait to see if a boy or a girl would complete our family!

IMG_1806_2.jpg

As you can see, Luke was Team Blue! He was all about a little brother, but we have been telling him for awhile that whatever God put in Mommy's belly would be perfect for our family! He seemed to understand that, but I was a little worried about his reaction if pink confetti came out of the balloon.

IMG_1813_2.jpg

And Paige, well she loves pink and kept saying the baby was a girl, but she is still little enough that she will be ok with either sex.

So the time was finally here - time to POP the balloon! (Excuse my face with a giant piece of the balloon flying at my head - ha!)

BLUE!!!!!

We celebrated with some champagne and sparkling grape juice for the little ones!

So excited for a baby boy to join our family!

This was such a fun way for all of us to find out! 

Here is some video of the reveal!
