Northern Bay 2009!


We're back!  We just got back from our annual vacation to Northern Bay Resort (a resort like 45 minutes past the Wisconsin Dells).  We go with the Dooyema's and the Otten family (who Ryan's family has vacationed with for years!)  It was a blast AGAIN and we had perfect weather and lots of laughs.  The group keeps growing which is so fun!!  The girls LOVED it this year.  We want to go back! :)

This pic sums up how Ryan felt after attempting several family and group photos with the girls... :)   haha

Ryan and Addison, Grandpa and Hailey, Uncle Shane and Emily.  


Braden, Emily, Hailey, Tyler, Addy
The girls loved the hot tub water and once they got used to that, they weren't huge fans of the pool! (Emily, Hailey, Addy)
So this looks like Addison took a spill....but nope..she was found just laying in the sand like this making "sand" angels.  She LOVVVEESS the sand! :)
Emily pointing to boats...

Then, these next pics are from the 4th of July!  My BFF Heather and her hubby Evan have lived here for 5 years (I was spoiled)  but now they're moving back to Sioux Falls to be by family....and now they are expecting!!!  Yay!  So...on the 4th of July, we threw a going away party/couple's baby shower party for Heather and Evan.  I am so sad to see them go....but totally at peace that this is where God wants them and what is best for them.  It really is bittersweet!  Anyway, here are some pics.  WE WILL MISS YOU GUYS!!!  
Des, Heidi, Heather, me
A group shot minus a couple people that were inside.....this was taken by a 4 year old!  Not bad! :) 
And this is Addison, trying to console her sisters who were both in time out behind the door. :)  So funny. :)

Oh Shell and Ry that picture of Addison consoling her sisters is HILARIOUS!!! Eric and I were cracking up :)The stories you guys have kill me. I am sad to hear Heather is leaving and totally understand as Low and Kar are most likely going to be moving soon :(, but I understand the peace. It's obvious when the Lord is opening a door for them to walk through. Looks like your trip and the fourth were a blast. Great pictures. I especially love the one of Ry exhausted and you cracking up!!
love you guys
