My boss, Ann Young, had my ex coworker, Brian Schoonover, and our families over for a Saturday picnic at her house in Ellsworth, WI. Ann and her husband Terry have a beautiful home in the country. 
Ann went crazy with all the things she had for the kids to do. She is going to make one amazing Grandma someday! They even provided live entertainment as their dog, Lucky, jumped into the 
pond to retrieve sticks the boys threw out there.
In 3 hours time the kids bowled, played basketball, played in the sandbox, played on the slide and swings, ate lunch, went swimming, ran
thru the sprinkler, checked out the hummingbird nest, ran around with 4 giant balls, and watched Lucky jump in the pond! 
Jackson (age 5), Jefferson (age 3), and
Allison (4 months) are the children of Brian and Jodi Schoonover. 
They are great kids and Ben had a blast playing with the boys. Emily checked out baby Allison and thought she might be a baby doll.
Despite a few difficulties Terry was able to get the sprinkler working properly. Thanks to Terry for grilling, it was great to have a REAL WISCONSIN BRAT! Ann also made this amazing taco salad, and here is a secret she put WESTERN dressing on it and it was amazing, the sweetness of the dressing with the taco meat and taco chips was great! Jodi made an amazing chocolate Trifle and chocolate chip cookies and I hope she doesn't mind me giving away her secret too the cookies were super moist and yummy, she actually puts a package of instant vanilla pudding into the dough! Who knew?
