Every year, ever since I was a baby, my family has been going to our family cabin up in northern Wisconsin every summer. It's such a big part of our family and since we have expanded over the years, it's been fun to introduce new traditions and memories.
Last year was Cole's first year, even though all he did was eat, sleep and poop (he was about 2 months old), so it was fun this year to think of all the things he would enjoy that he couldn't last year. Oh, but this year all he did was sleep and poop, not so much eating. Yup, he was sick for the majority of the time. Of course. And it just
happened to be the coldest week of the summer up there. Ugh. BUT, in the long run, it was lovely to be away from work and the routine of life and as always it was fun to spend time with family. Enjoy the pictures!
