Instead of heading up to Star Lake for the usual summer's end trip, we had a wonderful week in Dubuque at Grammy and Poppy's. I mean, really - they pretty much have their own campground, a.k.a. - the backyard. We made smores, helped Poppy in his garden, had some bike lessons from Uncle Will, went on the river and even experienced one of Dubuque's finest - the waterpark. Oh, and did we discover waterslides. Did we ever.
