Cousins In Wisconsin

 In Wisconsin we spent time with Mom's cousin Candy, and her husband Tony.  They had a beautiful house on a wooded piece of property that bordered one shore of a lake.

There was peaceful charm in the rustic landscaping of the grounds.

We enjoyed spending time canoeing on the lake.

 We saw deer in the back yard!  Wisconsin was lovely - similar to Oregon in many ways with its green trees and gentle sloping lawns.  It has no mountains, but it makes up for that by its quantity of lakes!

 Krista made a sketch for each state we drove through.

 In the evening we gave our cousins and some of their friends a house concert!  Then we enjoyed a dinner party with Tony's delicious Italian cooking.

Tony enjoyed playing instruments himself, and he had quite a collection of them!
