Flashback Fridays :Summer Vacations

As Summer is coming to a end and school starts, Summer can not be officially over until we take a family Summer Vacation.  In a few weeks with the van packed to the brim, we will be spending a week in Eagle River.  While I am not looking forward to the 5 hr drive with the kids, it brings me back to my childhood Vacation.  I have sooo many great memories growing up, going up North to the Cabins.  I remember driving up before Megan was born and Jenny and I laying the long way in the back seat and being so excited to get there.  I remember the  "green Cabin"  making Christmas ornaments at the craft house, the year we had bats in the dining room and could not use that room,  I remember swimming all day long and walking to the store and getting ice cream sandwiches at night.  One of my favorite memories was singing the You can't get to heaven song around the campfire and poking fun at everyone while eating gooey smores.   So as I am packing my whole house and getting crabby trying to get ready,  I know it will be worth it for the memories my kids will have.  So this weeks flashback Friday  is dedicated to up north  vacations of the past

Here is a picture of me up north when I was around 3 or 4

Here is another from our first trip up North with Kids.  We went to the Yogi bear park in Tomah WI with Cody and I was about 5 or 6 months pregnant with Hailey

Here are some pictures from last years adventure up North.  I had to included a year with some pictures of little B man

You will notice in this picture, Yes Hailey and Maren are in a bar.  We are from Wisconsin and it was a rainy day, so what else would we do.  Yup Hang out at the bar with the kids, drink a few drinks, place some video games and eat greasy bar food.  So here is to making memories.  Have a great week
