Lake Oconomowoc with the Litows

We had a wonderful time in Southern California with Nanny, Poppy, Aunts Ashley & Mimi, Uncles Jon & Mike, and cousins Avery, Ethan, Izzy & James, full of lots of family & pool time, some epic diving competitions, Disneyland, and desert pumpkin dissections. After a mere 11 hours at LAX, we headed to Chicago to pick up our car rental and drive up to Lake Oconomowoc where my sister and family had rented a lake house for the week. Unfortunately, the car rental closed at midnight, so we found a hotel room at 2am to get a few hours of sleep before driving up.

Once we arrived, we had two relaxing days of tubing, swimming, eating & drinking, Monopoly, s’mores, s’more eating and drinking, and a lot of laughs with cousins Levi & Carter and Aunt Debbie & Uncle Micah. It was the first time for all of us to visit Wisconsin and the soft cornfields, kind people, and peaceful lake life didn’t disappoint.

We had another fun flight hiccup when Air Canada canceled our flight to Montreal the night before, but luckily within a few hours they were able to rebook us on an early flight out of Chicago. Unfortunately, that meant waking up at the butt-crack of dawn and not getting to say goodbye to our cousins who had an elaborate plan of cousin time in the wee hours before we were originally scheduled to leave. Don’t worry Levi & Carter – we promise some dedicated cousin debauchery time when we return :)Baca lagi
