Copper Falls State Park 2009

In August we took a week long camping trip to Mellen, WI. We went with Paula, Daryl, Molly and Jerad. We couldn't have asked for a better time. I wasn't sure how it would go but we plan to go again next year. We stayed on Long lake at a quiet campground. The kids enjoyed the exploring, it's funny what you can find when you move a rock.

We spent a couple of days at Copper Falls State Park

swimming, fishing and hiking.

We also went to Madeline Island, the harbor was amazing.

Our Summer 2009!

Our Summer went by so fast but here is a glimpse of what we did!

We went to the Kalahari in June, the kids had a blast.

Rock out Jerad

Silly Boys!

Emma was a bumble bee for the Oregon Parade with preschool!

Then it was off to the rides.

Over the 4th of July, we went camping in Edgerton.

We played some golf or tried to......................

And did some fishing but............didn't catch anything

Ofcourse the best part was the POOL!

Uh oh Paula, what happened?

Wedding of the Decade!

Dave and Tracey finally did it! Can you believe it? It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. They got married May 30.

Gabe has such great moves! He can thank Chad for that.

She is still talking about how daddy danced with only her.

He is so handsome, I couldn't believe how excited he was to wear his suit.

Playing Dress Up

One of their favorite pass times is playing dress up, Gabe included! He truly is a "Corn Dog!"

Winter Fun

The kids loved to go sledding. Paula and I took the girls to Chicago for Molly's birthday. They were so surprised when we walked in to the American Girl store, Emma got her first doll, her name is Flower.

Gabe's 2nd Birthday

I don't know how he got to be so big! He had so much fun at his birthday. He can never get enough of his friends.
