Devil's Lake 2011

My favorite holiday, Columbus Day weekend, at Devil's Lake has come and gone already. This is our annual camping trip with family and friends and this is something I look forward to all year long. We had such a beautiful weekend with great weather and of course great company. We couldn't ask for a better weekend. Plus, this was Hayden's first camping trip!

We all tend to go on many hikes when we are there but now with 2 kids, we only went out a couple times. We let the big hikers, aka Gregg Knox and Ella, in front of the pack, and the group with the small kids go on their own and take their time. A hike that should have lasted around 1 hour takes 2 1/2!

The funny story. The boys decided to play a little game of football and the kids were not happy campers. I came to the scene of 3 crying kids wanting their dad's! I just had to take a picture of a few of them!

After Devil's Lake, I had the pleasure of going back to work. It was a long and busy week and definitely hard being away from the girls. At least they are doing great at daycare!

Lyla is still potty training and we are going through a big of a roller coaster ride with her. Dad put her on the throne this weekend with a toy catalog and she loved it!

And we have two girls cheering for the Badgers!
