Rhinelander, Wisconsin 2009

For more than 20 years, our family has been going to Rhinelander, Wisconsin for a week every summer. We were kids then, and now we take our kids there. The past few years, I have taken the kids by myself because Jared has had classes and work. But this summer he got to go with us! And although we didn't get to stay the whole week, we still had a great time!

Tiny found what we call a "lucky" one.

Caroline eating more than she's picking.
But who can blame her - these are the best berries ever!

Christina learned to drive the paddle boat on her own this year...
