One special weekend, Maddy's first camping trip on the island.
Last weekend was spent camping on the river with just our family. What a great time. There were sandcastles, food, fishing and more!
A little "River Rat" by birthright.
Maddy is enjoying some olives while anxiously anticipating breakfast.
Allie is photographing us here by the campfire.
Maddy is just waiting to get going here.
In no time she became an expert at the tent zipper and thouroughly enjoyed the tent itself. It was just like a playhouse to her and we all got to be in it too. The girls got to sleep together and Allie noticed a little sand in the bed.....go figure.
Georgeous if I do have to say so myself!
We had a great meal of brats, hotdogs, beans and salad, before the fire and fireworks.
Daddy is teaching Maddy a little about fishing.
A July 4th boat ride was enjoyed by us all.
We stopped at the annual Green Lake party given Dale and April at the cabin. The kids got to get their party on too.
Went to the Chisago Co. Fair and Maddy got to meet some kind and gentle animals a the front gate that were very attentive and ready to eat the 25 cent grain that was for sale. Pictured are Fallow Deer, we got to meet a baby Bison, kangaroo, mini donkey, and more.
My Grandma got an award for having a 100 Year Old farm in the family, that was very cool!
