Vacation


Our fun boating adventure.. I got both the kids on the tube. They had a blast. On the last boat ride, Madi and I actually got thrown off the tube, and when Brian went he almost broke his nose. He got a bloody mouth and a black eye. It was a lot of fun!

Cute Madi trying to catch a fish with the net.
The girls jumping to daddy from the dock. They did this over and over again.



The girls caught a frog with Aunt amy and the kids were to scared to stand near it for a picture. Silly girly girls

Little Cousins Madi was fighting to keep her place in the middle.
Playing games.
For the kids, this is what the party is all about! CAKE! Cute little birds near our event. Brian and I where in a couple horse shoe contest. We made it through the first round but then was defeated with my dads team. Errrr!!

I caught a little fish with my girls princess fishing pole. heheheh, I let it go after the picture.

Brian spent most the the time trying to catch a big fish with the girls Princess pole, he looked so masculine with that pole, hehehe.

I just love this pic of Madi

Brian was the pro fire maker. He also prepared these yummy foil Dinners. After we roasted marshmallows and made smores.

When we drove through Chicago we met up with my Uncle and Aunt Miller and of coarse Jeff, at the hard rock cafe. It was Crazy in down town Chicago.

In front of Michigan Lake

This is the picture of Crazy horse near Mount Rushmore. If you can see behind the statue is a mountain were they have started to make the mountain like this statue by Kenzie. It will be amazing when completed.
We had a great opportunity to go to my family reunion on my dads side. every 4-5 years they have one at ford lake in Michigan. Last reunion my fam didn't go but I'm so glad I went this year it was such a blast to see all my Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Mckenzie and Madison really had a great time on the lake. I think it helped them with their bug fobia. We stayed on the lake for 7 days it was so relaxing and then after we headed the Wisconsin to visit the other half of my family on my moms side. Brian also payed another visit to Marquette which is one of his top schools he would like to go for Dental school.

That looks like it was sooo much fun! I don't I've ever attended a family reunion like that! Your girls are adorable. I love the picture of Brian and the "manly" fishing pole" ;p

What a fun family trip!! I loved the pic of the girls in the cabin dancing around. Super cute outfits. I wish I would have been able to come home when you guys were there. I didn't know you were going to be in Milwaukee. We should definitely encourage our families to do a reunion. It would be a lot of fun, plus we've never had one. I'm glad you guys had such an awesome time. I'll send happy thoughts Brian's way about Marquette...that would be awesome if you guys moved to WI.
