TAGS

TAGS= Texas Age Groups Swimming

We landed Friday back in Houston, unpacked, grocery shopped, and repacked again for TAGS. 
Jackson was asked to swim relays with the 10 year old boys, so off to Austin we headed!

Jackson's first experience at University of Texas!

Group shot after winning GOLD in the 200 Free Relay!

Quick exploration around the State Capital that night.

Ready for Day 2! 
Seriously love my swimmer!

 Group shot after winning their 2nd GOLD for the 200 Medley Relay! Jackson anchored the race and swam his best 50 Free time. Their team was .7 off the Fleet Record!

 SO proud and inspired by his hard work, effort, and determination!

Lunch with his teammates to celebrate being 1st in the state!
Jackson was the only 9 year old from his team at TAGS. Such a huge honor, hopefully he'll be back next year in his own individuals races!

#hartzsummer2018 Wisconsin V:5

Last full day in Wisconsin!
I walked to the park with the boys and we enjoyed the cooler temps...

While Papa and Daddy were bringing home donuts!

Best Bavarian cream donuts!

Grandma Sharon made Swedish Meatballs for Jackson, his favorite!

We ended our trip with one last trip to A&W for Cheese Curds and Root beer ice cream!

Lucy, Jackson, Lincoln, Leo, and Lily

We all scream for ice cream!

Oh Lucy!

 We are thankful for our time in our home state and with our families!

#hartzsummer2018 Wisconsin V:4

 Brian and I took advantage of having babysitters and headed to the Oshoff Resort for a night to celebrate our anniversary!

The resort is on Elkhart Lake and has beautiful views all around!

After lunch, we walked to get some dessert!

Beautiful flowers along the way!

Gorgeous sunset over the lake and perfect temperature!

Enjoying our time together and the weather while waiting for our pizza!

Morning walk around the lake before heading back to Fond du Lac.
It was the perfect little get away!

I was able to see a few of my friends while we were there. We have been friends since elementary school. Thanks Jen, Jen, and Melissa for making time to see me!

And there's nothing quite like an evening game of baseball outside in Wisconsin!
Perfect summer night!

We woke up to 13 years of married life and headed out bright and early to the lake to fish!
So thankful for these 3!

What's a visit back home without a visit to Lakeside Park??

Never to old for the carousel! 

Or the train!

Everyone needs a Lincoln in their life!
