Labor Day Weekend 2008

Singing songs by the camp fire.

Playing with bubbles.

Every year we go to our cabin in Northern Wisconsin for Labor Day. Each year brings a different mix of families. This year was very quiet with only my parents and Mike and Cassie in our cabin. We had a lovely time relaxing and enjoying the hot weather. We do not typically have the warm days that we had this year. The hot tub was not working properly in that it wasn't heating, the kids loved playing in it. However, we have now learned that that may not have been the best idea. Ben has developed some sort of staff infection that the Dr. believes is caused from dirty hot tubs! oops. He is taking two baths a day with Lever 2000, supposedly that should clear up the little spots he has all over his body! Ben had a great time fishing, swimming, riding the jet ski, making s'mores and blowing bubbles. Emily had a good time dancing and playing instruments when Uncle Mikey and Aunt Cassie would sing and play the guitar. Mike and I enjoyed going on some nice runs in the quiet north woods. We were even lucky enough to see 3 deer on our drive into the preserve. It is a long drive to our cabin but its a weekend truly enjoy each year. It's how we mark the end of our summer.
