Wisconsin/Winter Fun Part 3

John & Mary Jeanne live near the Bay Shipbuilding Co.  In the 2nd picture you can see one of the several big ships that were there.

This picture shows a big pile of snow at their church.  Saw lots of these around.  They had just gotten about 5" of new snow right before we got there.

As we were leaving the area, we had to stop at a cheese shop.  John & Mary Jeanne said this was a good one - Renard's.  They had many, many kinds of cheese, local wines, cherry butter, etc.  Fun stop.  We picked up some gifts and a couple things for us including cheese curds.  They had just been made and were still warm in fact.  John gave us a tip about cheese curds. If they don't squeak and you want them to, microwave them for about 10 seconds.  We tried it - mmmmm!

On the way home, we stopped in Blue Earth, MN at the DQ for some ice cream.  We're not usually up there when the Jolly Green Giant is standing in snow so I had to take a picture of him.  Between there and home we saw two different places where there were TONS of deer!  Like maybe 50 in the first field.  Looks like at least 25 in this one.
