Well, I’m back from a placid week of r&r in Shawano Wisconsin. We rented a cabin on a channel which runs between Shawano Lake and the Wolf River, and immensely enjoyed the pontoon which came with the cabin. The lake was clear, sandy, and shallow – fantastic for all of the kids. This was our yearly anniversary trip – this year being our 13th (!!!) – and we’ve made a tradition of renting a summer cabin with our dear friends from college who got married just a week after we did. Now the kid count between our two families is up to 5 – the adults are sorely outnumbered, both in number and sheer volume! I was in heaven playing with my new camera with so many beautiful children. Here are some photos from the trip…
We’re heading out to the lake cabin on Friday for a week, for a much-anticipated, much-needed family vacation. We’ll be meeting some dear friends and their two kids for a week of lounging, cooking, knitting, reading, napping, swimming, drawing, card-playing, and of course, a bit of photo taking with my NEW CAMERA!!! Yes, that would be the Canon 5D, to replace my antiquated 20D. Nothing like a week with 5 gorgeous kids to break in the new toy. So this is an official vacation, away from email and phone, and I won’t be returning any messages until after I return, on August 15th. I will post some photos of our trip when I get back. Until then…
And of course I can’t post without a photo. Here’s one of my wee one.
