Father's Day weekend in the Dells.

 We Hipcamped in Cazinova Wisconsin. We had a beautiful ride through coon valley on our way south of the dells to where we were staying the weekend. 

I was unaware that this hip camp had multiple campsites. More than the 3 I thought they had. plus the owners lived in a camper on the property just up the hill from where we were camping. I'd say this wasn't awful camping here, but not great either. Here are my complaints. 

1. other campers near by. 

2. Neighbors dogs barking from 9pm to 2:30am (really annoying and hard to sleep!)

3. Firepit, unusable as it was filled with soot, and other wood/dirt. Plus, too close to our tents to use. 

4. 2 large dead trees that could have fallen on the corner of our tent. Very dangerous, Plus noticed the kids tent had a huge dead branch above it! Yikes!! Number 1 rule of camping, don't set up under a dead tree. 

5. dirt that was fluffy. No grass. It would have been a muddy mess if we got any rain. 

6. Not a single flat area. We were at an angle sleeping. It turned out okay as we adjusted our air mattress, but not idea sleeping. 

We won't camp here again, but I did like the area. Just hated the dogs barking!! This was by far the worst hip camp ever! We usually are the only campers and have ideal camping accommodations. We didn't let it bother us, as we only slept here or tried to sleep. 



While Logan and Hesuse were at Mt Olympus in the Dells. Steve and I had our own fun day. Breakfast and an art show in Reedsville. We also went to the Driftless Distillery by the river, had lunch and a drink.

River distillery drink

Winery stop
Bridal party with cute wigs
Dinner in the Dells by the riverwalk. 
Stopped at a little town bar by where we were camping called Fishy's. Had a $3 dollar drink
Cows in the country. Of course I never got a photo of all the Amish in the area. 
Pretty rolling hill through Coon valley on our drive to the camping area, in the town of Casanova. 
Logan's first College apartment, Move in day!! His apartment is on the right, 1st floor. Bedroom window is the side garden. 
Room with his new queen bed and frame. We just unrolled the bed, but didn't make it. He can do that in September. 

kitchen

Lots of arched doorways, hardwood floors.

Living room. just needs a TV and stand. 


Home again on Sunday night at 8:30pm. What a great Father's Day weekend! 

Other news. Kendra's father had a heart attack early Saturday morning at 5am. He was flatlined. They got him breathing and brought him to the St. Paul Hospital. He was incubated and sedated. Woke up a little Saturday night while Kendra was there with him and they weened him off oxygen yesterday. Talking, aware and now up and walking today. He ended up needing 4 stents, widow maker heart attack with 100% blockage. Guess he went to the hospital Friday night, only to be sent home with meds. Yikes!! The paramedics must have gotten there in time when he stopped breathing. Glad he is okay and will make a full recovery! It would have been a sad Father's Day otherwise for Kendra and her sisters.
