Marquette Graduation

Dane did it!! Congratulations!! All your hard work and preparation has payed off and we couldn't be any more proud of you!  My parents, my 2 brothers, Dane's parents and Grandpa came for the celebration and for the big move across country once again.  Excited to move on!  I will really miss Wisconsin.  It has been our home and I have grown to really love it.  I actually wish it could just be transported to the west of the country so that I could have the best of both worlds :)

Here we are at the Hooding Ceremony

 Next day was the commencement and luncheon/diploma

Jada and her bestie Chloe

Here is a preview to our family photos

Last Wis Dells Hoorah

We got to stay at Christmas Village and they had a really neat indoor pool.  Cold, but fun nonetheless.  We spent most of our day here and then headed to bed. (videos aren't working..boo)

 The next to Kalahari Resort.  I just love this place.  The girls were hesitant at first and then BOOM!  They had such a great time.  Sadie was fearless, she wanted to do everything and anything.

 Little lazy river- so darn cute

 Lunch Break

That was just one small section of the park.  Dane and I took turns going down slides.  They have a family raft ride, water roller coaster, toilet bowl, tube and body slides, free falls, surfing, wave pool, lazy river, tween/kid climbing and slide area, hot tubs indoor and outdoor, swimming bar, play area pool, etc.  I am really going to miss Wisconsin (believe or not).

Canada

And finally...Canada.  Now I can make my blog book for last year!!
We took a boat from Seattle to B.C. Victoria.  It was a 2.30-3 hour ride, if I can remember correctly.  The boat ride wasn't too bad.  We were able to walk around if we wanted and we had plenty of family to keep us entertained.

We walked from the dock to our place.  It was beautiful.

Jada was my little pose in model

Sadie found my shirt and put it on.

As you can see it rained most of the time we were here.  

Very gloomy

We went out for a walk and visited the museum

We met up with everybody and ate a yummy dinner

We saw this little bugger and really just couldn't stop laughing

We celebrated my Birthday with the best chocolate cake

We got news that a big storm was heading in so we had to cut our trip short and headed back to Seattle.  We had to take a long route back and it then took us 6.3-7 hours on that boat.  Yuck!  The first 30 min was us pounding the waves.  It was crazy.  We all tried to keep it together.

Yes, finally off that boat!!!
