This is GOOD LIVIN'

This weekend we headed up north to Hayward, WI for a long weekend getaway with my family's best friends.  Kara and I feel like we "grew up" in Hayward because so many of our GREAT childhood memories are there.  It was so fun to go back again!  We only had half of our families there...but it was still so fun!  A few days before we got there, they had spotted a mama black bear and a baby bear on their property!  We thought we had seen the bear a couple times but we ended up just freaking ourselves out for nothing. :)  Hayward is one of the hardest places to leave though...it is just so relaxing and so fun up there.  

Lifelong friends Kaitlin, me, Kim, and Kara :) 
Hailey had her hands folded so cute for the longest time.  
This IS Good livin'!!!!!!
I never would have thought they would have potbellies! :) 
They loved the sand! :)  
Have I told you how PUMPED I am that my sister is living with us this summer?  We are having so much fun and she is a huge help! 
This is the standard place to take family pictures every time we visit Hayward.  My how my family has changed.... :)
