Ada picked Chuck E Cheese as the place to be for her birthday celebration. Take some friends and a few slices of Pizza, add in some Games and Prizes and then top that off with some gooey Chocolate cupcakes and you have a great day!
 

 
 
 

Heading North

This summer we "ran away" up north several times to enjoy the beauty of Lake Superior.  We love the town of Bayfield and are so unbelievably greatful for friends that share their amazing slice of heaven with us by opening their cabin for our use.  We enjoyed a long weekend away with the girls, a Milbrandt family getaway and Labor Day weekend with a group of friends and all of our kiddos.  Ferry rides to the Island, trips to the candy store and kayaking through the Sea Caves are just a few of the highlights.

  We even managed to snap a few pictures along the way:
