Hello, Lake Geneva! The Banks are in town for a few days to enjoy some family time before school starts again. We found a good deal on a resort that had both indoor and outdoor pools. Double the swimming fun!
The night we arrived, we went into town to do a little exploring and have dinner. We discovered Sprecher's. They make Josh's favorite soda, so we were excited to try other things on their menu too. Everything was so good! Afterwards, we went down to the water and walked (someone ran) on the beach. Capped off with ice cream at Kilwin's, it was a great day!
The next day, we were up bright and early thanks to someone who decided she did not want to sleep in her crib. She conked out fairly early into our shopping trip at the local shops. (I think Josh would have liked to shop while sleeping in a stroller too.)
Later that day, it was back to the beach. Livi had fun digging and building sandcastles with her daddy. We were all very happy that he was able to be away from work for a few days and enjoy some family time.
After a day of fun in the sun, we needed to get cleaned up for another night on the town. As we got dressed, Olivia insisted on wearing a necklace since I was wearing one. What can I say, the girl knows how to rock accessories! We headed out for dinner once again. It took a few tries (let's just say one restaurant wasn't what it seemed based on their website), but we found a great Italian restaurant. Have you ever seen a child so excited to be eating broccoli?
Sadly, the next day it was time to leave Lake Geneva. We took in the view of Lake Como from the dining room at breakfast. I think Livi may have eaten more than we did! One of the funniest things was how excited Livi was when she noticed the Wal-Mart sign on the way out of town, "I wanna go Wal-Mart!" Sigh, we traveled 260 miles and Olivia was excited about Wal-Mart. I'm glad we didn't attempt Disney World this summer!
On our way back to Papa and Grandma's house (where Tinker was staying), we stopped by to see Uncle Artie. It was so nice to see him again and Olivia warmed up to him right away. We stayed and had dinner with some of the rest of the Lucchese gang.
We bunked at Papa and Grandma's house (while they were visiting Uncle Drew and Aunt Lisa in Charlotte) that night. The next day, Livi and Daddy went to check out the local bakery (Chuck's) while I did some shopping with my God daughter, Alyssa. It was very fun to have lunch with two of my favorite girls! Before we headed back to Fishers, Livi made sure to water her flowers at Papa and Grandma's. I can't believe how big they are both getting!
