WE LANDED IN MILWAUKEE WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY AFTERNOON WE PACKED OUR SWEET ONES IN MIMI'S MDX AND HEADED FOR LAKE ENTERPRISE. SPENDING LABOR DAY TOGETHER AT THE LAKE HAS BECOME A LARSON FAMILY TRADITION. THANKFULLY, PEARL JAM SCHEDULED TWO CONCERTS AT ALPINE VALLEY OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND TO ENTICE MY HUSBAND BACK TO THE STATE. APPARENTLY, BAND TIES RUN JUST AS DEEP AS BLOOD.
AFTER A LONG AND RESTLESS DRIVE, WE ARRIVED AT CAMP DAVID. WITHIN MINUTES "SUMMER SUITS" WERE FOUND AND LIFE JACKETS WERE CLIPPED.
NO REST FOR THE WEARY WITH THESE LITTLE ONES...
SUNSET COCKTAIL CRUISE - A FAVORITE ACTIVITY
SHIRTLESS IN ELCHO
THE LITTLE LADY FOUND THE NORTH WOODS TO BE QUITE FREEING.
SHIRTLESS...
NOTHING NEW HERE.
VACATION SUITS HIM.
WE WERE THRILLED TO LAY EYES ON AUNTIE DAWNIE AND UNCLE BOBBY AS WE HAD NOT SEEN THEM SINCE MID-JUNE.
THE LAKE BRINGS OUT THE LITTLE MAN'S QUIET SIDE.
FRIDAY TURNED OUT TO BE OUR BEST DAY OF WEATHER, SO WE FILLED OUR AFTERNOON WITH WATER FUN.
DISCOVERING A NEW SPOT TO PERCH ON BOB'S BOAT.
VACATION SUITS US AS WELL.
THE LITTLE ONES KEPT THEIR UNCLE BOBBY BUSY. I THINK THEY KNOW HE WILL OFFER THEM HIS UNDIVIDED ATTENTION; BLESS HIS NORTH WOODS HEART.
ONE OF OUR FAVORITE ACTIVITIES AT THE LAKE - EATING.
THIS LABOR DAY THE "KIDS" PLANNED THE DEEP-FRIED TURKEY FEAST, WHICH INCLUDED BAREFOOT CONTESSA CREAMY CHEDDAR GRITS recipe, PIONEER WOMAN BAKED BEANS recipe, FOOD NETWORK BACON WRAPPED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES recipe, AND PIONEER WOMAN YOGURT CREAM AND BERRIES recipe. DAWN AND I HAD A FIELD DAY PLANNING THE MENU. IT WAS DIVINE IF I DON'T SAY SO MYSELF! JEFF APPLAUDED US FOR INCORPORATING BACON INTO TWO DISHES. INITIALLY, WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT THIS; HOWEVER, IT PROVED TO BE JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF BACON FOR THE HEARTY MEAL.
OUR WEEKEND WAS FILLED WITH (MUCH NEEDED) R & R,
A LITTLE WORK,
LOTS OF PLAY,
AND, PRECIOUS TIME AS A FAMILY.
CAMP DAVID HAS BECOME A HAVEN FOR OUR FAMILY, AND WE ALREADY ANTICIPATE RETURNING NEXT SUMMER.
*DOC AND MINI WERE PRESENT AND VERY MUCH A PART OF THE WEEKEND'S ACTIVITIES CONTRARY TO PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE.
