Wisconsin Thanksgiving

As I mentioned earlier in the blog me, the boys, my parents, and my oldest brother loaded up my Suburban and drove to Wisconsin for the week of Thanksgiving. It was an absolute blast! We had such a great time and pretty good weather too. My aunt and uncle live on a farm and it is like a second home to me. I LOVE it there and my boys sure did enjoy themselves too. Ty was hilarious...he was deathly afraid of the cows, but the dead deer hanging up didn't bother him one bit..he actually thought they were dogs and every time he saw them or got close to them he would shriek "gog" or when he gets really excited he says "gog-a-lee-gog" It had everyone laughing. The boys were in heaven playing with all their Wisconsin cousin. Most all of the boys wrestle and now Tucker informed us he wants to wrestle now too.
My uncle still has some cows he milks and he sells his milk to one of the local cheese factories, so we ventured out one morning and checked out the factory. The boys loved watching cheese being made and it was extra special since it was being made with milk from Uncle Ernie's cows which the big boys had been helping out in the barn milking! Then in true Wisconsin fashion we had ice cream from the cheese factory at 10 in the morning when it was about 40 degrees outside!
We had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner..well actually all of the food we ate there was amazing. My aunt is one heck of a cook and she pretty much makes everything homemade. We also got to go out for a Friday night fish fry, which was amazing! I haven't consumed that much food in a week since the last time were up there.
It was deer hunting season and my dad braved the cold (he hates cold weather) and went out hunting with the rest of the hunters..pretty much all the men in family hunt. Unfortunately my dad didn't get a deer, but between all of the hunters they got 7 (I think...) We had an awesome fresh venision meal one night and Tucker even went out in the garage with all the hunters and learned all about hunting and cutting deer meat..he would also like to hunt when he is old enough now too :)
