Family 

I love the state of Wisconsin because it is such a beautiful place with the climate changing all throughout the year.  Wisconsin is a place where all of my cousins come and visit because it is where the majority of our family lives including our grandparents.  My cousins also do not live very close at all because they live all over the country including the following: California, Oregon and Michigan, so we love getting able to see each other because we only see each other for a short amount of time.  The only times we mainly see eachother is over breaks or during the holidays because other days we have school and everyone has to be back in their home town to go to school.  We mostly see them in the summer when we go up north to our lake house in Eagle River every year and we get jet skis and we wakeboard/wakesurf behind the boat too.  It is always so nice to see the view of the lake when we all wake up to a morning breakfast while enjoying the lake.  When we see our cousins we usually go out and enjoy their company with them too besides just hanging around at the building everyday we go out to eat sometimes; other times we may make food at home.  At the end of the day for me I do not care where all of our family is meeting each other because the only thing that matters is that I am with them no matter where I am.  When we are not all together we have this thing that we do every Sunday night before we all go to bed we all group facetime each other to keep up with everything that is going on with everyone.  Most of my family aren’t usually on because they have other plans that they have to get done like them having soccer practice because it is not the same time for them as it is for us, but I still think this is fun for all of us even when not everybody is on the call talking.  I am usually also not on Facetime with everyone else because I am not home a lot on the Sundays at 7:00 which is the time that we all start talking to each other.  Two of my cousins now go to Madison for college and I love this because they live so much closer to us and my grandparents house here than they would be if they were still living out of state.  They both were super happy when my first cousin got accepted into UWM. My aunt and uncle started buying him a lot of Badger stuff because he was not going to be a wildcat anymore.  My grandparents were helping us get him some new clothing too that will match with where he is living.  Then Two years later my other cousin got accepted into UWM too, and we were all screaming because we were super excited because she was also going to be living closer to us and our grandparents.  UWM switched to public in January of 2021.  It began in 1956.  Tyner is now a junior in college and he is living in an apartment that is unique.  You can see the lake from his window.  Jordyn is also now living in the same apartment building that Tyner was living in his freshman year. 

 I love my family.  Wisconsin is such a cool state to be in with all of the things that go on all around throughout the entire year.  Even if you don’t live here, you should come visit sometimes because it may change your mind about wanting to come live here.
