The Great Outdoors!

We recently spent a week up in the north-woods... 3 days camping and 3 days at Mimi's cabin. We lucked out with great camping weather (75 deg., not great swimming weather), sunshine, and beautiful campgrounds. Lots of good food, dutch-oven cooking (thanks for getting me hooked, Brian!), swimming that was a bit cold but do-able, hiking, and, of course, campfires with s'mores. The kids loved most of it, and were sad to leave.

But then we got to spend 3 days with Mimi at her cabin. We had fun on her lake with the paddle-boat, and Nate was introduced to the fishing pole and tackle (although we didn't catch anything... this was my fault as I've had life-long bad fishing luck). We had fun in quaint down-town Minoqua, with parks, ice-cream, game-store, and chocolate stores... what more could we ask for? Thanks Mimi for letting our crazy family stay with you! (And thanks Mick and Kathy for letting us use your canoe... love your cabin!)

Aw, sweet! We are headed up to Eagle River next month...we were in Three Lakes about 2 years ago and loved it! Minoqua is lovely.
