Sailing, Bayfield Style

Dan and I had the honor of attending our friend Mary's 70th Birthday Bash up in Bayfield, WI.  Among the FOUR fun filled days of activities around the town of Bayfield (more pictures and stories to come) we had the opportunity to go sailing.  Neither Dan or I had ever been, so we jumped at the chance to check it out.  In Mary's fathers sailboat the Mara we were "taught" the basics of sailing by one of the local sailors named Ted.  We must have been good students (haha) because he even gave us each the chance to steer the craft.  We had a beautiful afternoon and both really enjoyed our time out on the water with him.  I snapped a few shots of Dan playing captain, and I have to say he looks mighty handsome doing so!!

Northern New Years - Bayfield, WI

Northern New Years Party

Bayfield, WI

Dan and I were invited up to our favorite getaway town, Bayfield, for a weekend bash celebrating the new year. It was a formal 'fun' party that we were quite excited to be a part of! I got to wear one of the bridesmaid dresses from our wedding!
The Dan's all went in matching outfits and were the hit of the party!

Applefest 2008

We had another great Applefest celebration up in Bayfield. Dan and I left town early and had almost 2 full days at the cabin to relax before everyone arrived and the partying began! We had 8 people this year, which was a blast!
Dylan and Alicia, Beth and John, Jake and Mona and Dan and I had a great weekend. Lots of great food, plenty of cocktails, and a ferry ride over to Madeline Island where we rented mopeds and had our own "bike gang" helped to make a memorable time.
This is what happens when Dan has control of the camera - we get pictures of me growling at him! :)

WI Dells

Dan took the girls to WI Dells for a long weekend with Grandma Diane, Uncle Dave, Aunt Becky and Cousins Lauren and Katie. Mom had to miss out on this trip because work is so busy, but Dad did a great job of getting some fun pictures!
