Our week long vacation to Squaw Lake, Minocqua was a wonderful time! The week went by so fast I could hardly believe it! The weather was absolutely beautiful all week! Ethan was a fish in the water! He loved to swim! Scott did a lot of fishing. The family caught a lot of walleye so we had a huge fish dinner on Friday night! It was delicious! We had a few nights of neat firework displays, thanks to the firework man, Scott! We met some new friends in the cabin next door to us-they were a lot of fun! Looking forward to going back!
