This is another "duck" we saw.
Here we are in the water. Our driver kept us laughing with is goofy jokes.
As the "duck" approaches the water - scary at first - will it float?
On land - beautiful!
Hang on to that baby Dad! We took a "duck" ride at Wisconsin Dells - they are old army vehicles that can drive on land, or motor through water.
In the front of Jay and Jillian's - Chicago. It was so nice to see our life long friend, Jill, happily settled in her new home with her husband Jay.
Eating supper out on their back deck -mmmm Jill's a good cook!
On the way home, we stopped in Chicago at Jillian and Jay's for the night. We enjoyed the beautiful evening playing at a park nearby and eating supper outside. Their deck overlooks a little lake - so nice!
One last photo with Davy before we took off on our journey home.
Kira enjoying Davy's dog, Sambo.
Davy giving Zeke a bath in his kitchen sink.
More dear friends from "way back", Bob and Heather, came over for supper. We love watching the babies together.
Davy having company - mmmm - marinaded pork tenderloin, ranch potato casserole, ceasar salad, and overnight cake. Foods we fondly remember from our youth! 
Davy and Stu working in his kitchen - getting ready for company. I enjoyed the challenge of cooking in his "bachelor" kitchen - there were steady trips to the store for different items. ~ Next time I come, maybe there will be a lady making it her home!? He's looking! 
Zeke loves playing outside. The weather was wonderful - and further along in the season - compared to ND - where we have had a hard time getting started on springtime.
The back of Davy's house. East of Columbus, OH. 
The front of Davy's house. He took us in for 1 week - pretty good of a single guy - putting up with his sister and her tribe of 6 kids. Amazingly, he seemed sad to see us go - must be awful quiet for him now. We enjoyed the week away from home - beautiful weather - fun company - places to go, etc. I'm so thankful to have a brother that was willing to put us up - thanks bro!

so did you guys manage to stop in Hixton?
no - we stopped at Oakdale - had a cute Amish built cabin... didn't stay long enough for the kids to enjoy all the extras.
