Wishing Well

 

While we exploring downtown in the Dells we came across this cute little town square with a New Orleans theme.

The boys immediately ran over to the fountain and I thought it would be a great picture.

Lost in the Woods

 

This week we took a family trip to Wisconsin Dells. At first I was unsure of what to expect but once we arrived I was in love. It is so beautiful; nothing but trees and lush green as far as you could see.

Liam and I went to get some coffee for our room and decided to explore our resort while out and this is one of the cabins that we came across, I thought it was a great sight for a picture.

Our second day we went hiking at Devil’s Lake State Park. It was about a 5 mile hike up along a ridge over looking Devil’s Lake.

 

 

Somehow we wandered off trail and got a little lost in the woods but the scenery was beautiful and well worth the trip

By the time we got to the top of the hill we were just a little tuckered out.

The hike was a great addition to our trip filled with waterparks and other extreme adventures. I think we all hope to be back in Wisconsin soon!

 

First Communion

Today I watched my little brother Jackson and my “little sister” Emily go through their First Communion. I still cannot believe how grown up they are. I feel like just yesterday Jackson was starting kindergarten.

     

11 years ago my best friend Taylor and I went through First Communion together. We too just went through the motions like everyone else and didn’t think much of the experience, but now that I look back and I see my siblings going through this process I hope it has the same impact on them that it had on me.

Congratulations Jackson and Emily! I love you both and I am so happy I could share this special day with you!

Holiday

 

The kids are always beyond crazy, the grandparents talk and we hear old stories; some that we have heard a million times before, others that are brand new. Holidays are crazy when held in a Runge house but regardless I love this time I have with my family.

    

     

 

The boys enjoyed looking for the hidden eggs outside, everything with them is a competition but it was fun to watch them run around and have fun. To me that is the best part. As I got older I missed begin little but now I look forward to watching the kids make memories and enjoy their time together.

To all of my family, wherever you are: I love you
