Grandpa and Caleb...

little Liam...

the kids... cooling off in the wolf building...

the gang... minus me...


Ethan, Caleb, Liam and I met up with Grandma and Grandpa Raap, Lauren and Niko at the zoo... It was definitely a HOT one today!!! We had a lot of fun despite the scorching heat... It doesn't even phase the kids!!! But as for me, I bet I sweated out a few pints... Thank goodness for a venti iced mocha to keep me cool and energized!!!

CRAZY CALEB!!!


Caleb had discovered the diving board at grandma and grandpa's pool... he is OBSESSED with jumping off of it now!!! It is really cute and funny, but a little scary... He gets up on the diving board and jumps up and down at the end of it while laughing!!! He is quite the dare-devil!!!

So I know there are a lot of pictures, but I actually took about 500!!! We had a fabulous time up north!!! We stayed at the Birch Trail Resort in Lac Du Flambeau... Our family had 3 of the 5 cabins there... the wildlife was beautiful!!! Loons, bald eagles, otters, deer, ducks... Wonderful!!! Swimming, boating, tubing, fishing and the list goes on!!! Although it was a very busy week, it was very relaxing... We hated to go home!!! Every day Ethan asks to go back up north!!! He especially loved Paul Bunyan's (gift shop)!!!
