McCarthy Beach State Park

Our Campsite...

Notice that it's only thigh deep and they are really far from shore!

SUPER clear water - Nicole is in about 3 feet - completely all sand bottom everywhere we swam.

A little further zoomed out...
Actual distance - no zoom on the camera! SUPER far to go, just to get it above your belly button deep!
The first night we were there, there were two loons right in front of us talking to each other


Here's just part of the park's beach area...

Had a really nice weekend!

June 27 Wild River State Park




Couple pictures from swimming today at Wild River State Park! Kids had a blast - we were there for about 3 hrs. Had some interesting weather last night - a few close lighting strikes and loud thunder, but ended around midnight. Will try to send video!

Spring Hikes - 2010




On Saturday, we hiked for a couple hours at Jay Cooke state park. The water is really low, but the weather was great! We decided to hike up the shore at Split Rock River - between Gooseberry Falls and the Lighthouse. All of us hiked over 4.5 miles yesterday - got a little sunburned too. Kids did great - had a LOT of fun!

Girl's Easter Surprises







The girls got matching outfits and new dresses for Easter, along with some other little surprises. Chris's parents came over and we had ham and cheesy potatoes - We also did an egg hunt outside (in the dark) with glow in the dark eggs and flashlights - they all thought that was great! It was Bonnie's (Scott's mom) birthday on Sunday also, so we were able to make cake and sing her happy birthday too.
