Misc. pic's of our vacation to the U.P.

Here are some misc. pic's of our vacation. I think it went very well. We spent a lot of time around the camp fire, morning, noon and night. Alex, Todd, Dad & I drove to Mark & Amy's for a week. Katie got a few days off of work and joined us.

8-23 Last Morning at cabin, Last night at Mark's

On Sat we hung around the cabin until after lunch. The "men" went fishing and the ladies packed up. While the guys were gone we did get in a couple games of marbles and darts. We drove back to town, unpaced the cabing items and repacked the van. We were on the road for the trip home Sunday by 10.

Second Day at Cabin 8-22

On day two at the cabin, we had a water balloon/squirt gun fight. And in the evening we lighted the last of our fireworks. Mark and the guys went over to another cabin and did a bit of work. We sat around the fire at night playing word games and just bullshiting. Everyone had a good time

8-21 Building a tee pee

We went out in the woods for a walk and I saw the perfect branch to start a Tee Pee. So we built one. Everyone helped and by the time we left it looked really good. It brought back memories of when we would build them on Grandpa's farm when we were kids.

8-21 Day One at Cabin

We drove over to Perch Lake on Thursday and stayed in a cabin. It had no electric, running water and the out house was really pretty clean. It did have lots of wood for the fire, many beds.
Alex primed the pump with his squirt gun.

Mark told Alex to kiss the fish. (It was the only one caught)

8-18-08 First Day at Marks

We brought the Wii on our trip to Mark & Amy's. When we were not picking apples for the deer, watching movies or taking walks, everyone took their turn on the Wii.

On 8-19-08 Mark, Amy, Dad and Rene'e drove to Green Bay to visit Uncle Ray. Alex and Todd stayed at Mark's and went to the local state park.

On 8-20-08 Mark tood Dad to work for the day. We just hung out around Mark's place.

Summer Camp

Alex went to summer camp this year. It was from 9-4 M-F. He had a great time. It was really nice since it was only blocks from our house and he could walk to it. They did all sorts of things. Swimming at the beach, trips to the library, fishing, games outside, crafts inside, trips to Dairy Queen ect. Here are some pic's of his time at camp.
