We started out by surprising Tizita at school when we got there on Friday morning. We took her to Caramel Crisp for lunch. What a great way to start our long weekend. Tiz drove up with us and as soon as we checked in, we headed to the pool.
We all enjoyed the hot tub and the pool. After our swim we had dinner at the Sister Bay bowl. The whitefish fish fry was so tasty. We took Tizita home with us so Courtney and Paul could spend the evening with friends who were also up in Door County.
Our bathroom has a bidet and that was an unending source of fun for all of us. Tizita just loved making the water shoot up to the ceiling. None of us knew exactly how to use the bidet and we were not brave enough to give it a try. I think we may have left water marks on the ceiling.
We also had a huge jacuzzi in our bedroom. Tiz decided to play photographer. This is one picture that she staged and then used the timer on my camera to set up this picture. She can do things with that camera that I cannot even do. After this picture she had all of us in the jacuzzi for various shots. 
Then Tizita decided to do another photo shoot in the living room. We must have taken at least a dozen shots all orchestrated by her. She sure does have an eye for photography.
Another unique feature in our room was this huge shower. I had three shower heads plus a head that rained down on you from the top. The biggest problem was that there was no door on the shower and you were in plain view if someone walked by. We had to announce if we were going into the shower so no one would walk in on us. I also found it weird to have so much water showering out on you from all different areas in the shower. Not sure who designed this particular bathroom, but it has some odd features for sure.
After breakfast each day Tiz would ask to go to the community room where we had discovered ping pong tables, bean bags cornhole toss, and a few other games. Tiz enjoyed setting up a fort with the different equipment. It was a nice area to use on a cold wintery morning.
We did celebrate Paul's birthday on Saturday morning. Tiz brought him a muffin and a glow stick which we used for a candle. I think he had a very nice birthday.
Saturday afternoon we hiked at Cavepoint county Park and Whitefish Dunes State Park. The weather was perfect for hiking. Anyone that has not experienced Door County in the winter is missing so much beauty and peace. We all thoroughly enjoyed the hiking that day.
Tiz loved climbing the rocks. Here she is jumping into Paul's arms.
We hiked to the top of Mt. Baldy which is one of the tallest sand dunes on Lake Michigan. It was a three mile hike and 112 steps to the top. Even Tiz completed it without any complaint. After our hike, we went over to JJ's in Jacksonport for some yummy Mexican. It was an early bedtime for all of us that night.Sunday we walked to the park in Sister Bay, but the wind was biting and way too cold to do any outside activities, so we all holed up and enjoyed our fireplace, the pool, hot tub, and games. Courtney and I did manage to work on Natnael's memory book for a bit, but it was hard and our minds wandered from the task. It will get done in time though. We ate our Sunday dinner at Husby's. The beers were going down easily.
On Monday Courtney and Paul had to leave for home early, so Tizita, John, and I headed out later in the AM. We decided to stop at the Packer Pro Shop. Tiz enjoyed looking at all the cool things. Here she is trying on some earmuffs and pretending they were earphones and a microphone. She was broadcasting the game, she said.
And finally, posing with her new friend in the Pro shop. We took her back to Oshkosh and now we are home. It was such a wonderful, fun filled weekend, but it went by way too quickly!
