Elk

Mike would probably be upset if I didn't post this picture...so here is a picture of the Elk that was above the fireplace at the cottage we stayed at...it was pretty big! The cottage was right by Legends Ranch (I think that is what it's called) so we did a drive by a few times to look at the deer that are fenced in there, we actually saw quite a few!

Summer Vacation

The first week in August we went with my family to cottage for the week. It was located on Pickerel Lake in Bitely (near Baldwin). This is a picture of the cottage, a log cabin style, it was very nice! We spent a lot of time relaxing, swiming, skiing, tubing etc.
This was the view from the cottage, notice the our lovely pontoon boat and my dad's old gold boat...I think they're both antiques! (they both run most of the time!) The shore was full of weeds and really mucky so we'd take the our pontoon boat out to the middle of the lake to go swimming. We're not sure exactly what Mike is doing in this picture--fishing or taking a leak...it's up for debate!
Here's how we spent our evenings - reading and playing games! I think I got through almost three books!
SHOCKER!! We even got Kyle to read--more than just a magazine! We were all SO surprised! I think he actually liked it more than what he let on to!
