Visiting the North Woods

Our family was very excited that we got to visit the cabin twice this summer. We love it up there and according to Seth and Norah it is "the best place on earth." We did a lot of our usual things like kayaking, boat rides, the beach and fishing. But we also got to do some new things too.


S'mores are always a must.



And a trip to the cabin wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Corner Store. Silas was very happy they had blue ice cream.


One morning we took the kids with some of their cousins to a local park in Sayner. They loved it. Parks are always a winning idea with our kids.


Silas' favorite thing, a fire truck at the park.


Grandma Joyce and Grandma Great, here are some of your favorite Brewer fans.



We had a great time fishing. Each kids caught their first up north fish. We caught over 30 fish while we were out but Norah caught the only keeper.



Silas enjoyed fishing but I think he almost enjoyed playing with the worms more.


A new adventure was horse back riding for Norah. She was so excited and had a great time with Seth on a 30 minute trail ride.


Silas was a little upset when he realized that he had to stay back with mom. But we got to pet the horses, which he loved.


Finishing up their ride on Casper.


Because he couldn't go on a horse ride, Silas got to go on the bumper boats. They were both soaked from head to toe by the time they were done thanks to a big fountain.



We had fun on our walks down the driveway.



And of course you need a walking stick.


Norah had another first this year. She got to sleep in a tent outside with her Grandma Joyce.


Before bedtime, both Silas and Norah got to watch a movie in the tent with Grandma. Norah was a trooper and stayed in the tent all night. She definately wants to do it again.


Our up north visit wouldn't be complete without one more trip to the Corner Store. We can't wait to visit again.
