Hayward June 2011

We had our Hayward trip early this year because of Casey & Mike's wedding on July 9th. We really missed having them there this year - but understood that wedding details needed to be finalized. So we went ahead with our yearly trip and had a good time. I can't remember the last time we had such fabulous weather!!!

We were there in time for the Musky Festival - here is Emme on one of the carnival rides

My friend Andrea and her son Tyler came up to visit one day and here the 4 of us are going down a HUGE slide. Emme thought it was awesome!!!

Lots of sand box time!!!

Here's my niece Braenna all ready to go fishing!

We fished a ton! The little girls each have their own pole. Mikaiya really got into it this year and wanted to fish constantly!!

One of my favorite pics of Miss Em looking at the beautiful Nelson Lake

This was hysterical! Em's first time catching a fish. She goes "Mommy!!! I don't wanna catch a fish!!!". I died laughing. She was screaming for me to take the pole. HA HA

Grandpa was a big help with fishing. Here Mikaiya is touching one of the many fish she caught.

We also celebrated Grammy and Braenna's birthdays while we were up there.

Here we are going for a boat ride. Me with Emmers and Mikaiya.

Here's Emily giving Braenna a kiss. Such a sweetie pie!

My niece Braenna. I love this picture of her!

The eagle was so close on the bog. Had to get a picture of it. It's amazing how many eagles you see up there.

The 3 little ladies all ready for a bonfire

The girls got in a LOT of swim time. So glad we brought the pool. We did do some lake swimming but swam in the pool a lot more often.

Kory and I took Em to the park. She loves it there.

We had a great trip even if Em was throwing tantrum after tantrum. Thanks to my mom & dad for having us up north. We always have a great time and really appreciate you letting us stay. Thanks also for all the help with Em. Love you both!
