Madeline Island...

 The cousins enjoying the ferry together...

 We stayed at the same house that we stayed in two years ago and two years before that.  Above is right across the street from the house, you can see the top of the stairs leading down to the beach.  The picnic table at the top is the perfect place to set up an easel and paint a picture. 

 Joe really enjoyed the boat this time, that's him in the pic above.  He also spent a lot of time moving rocks.

 Aunt Steph did some fun nature activities with the younger kids. 

 Tim and Lisa brought their dog, Stanley.  Of course, Grace and Joe absolutely loved him. 

 Above is the view from the screened in porch downstairs.  Just beautiful. 

 Gabi is a great photographer and he set up some camera equipment and took pictures.  There are some family ones to come later but I don't have them on my computer yet.  I love the one of Joe below. 

 These two pictures are pretty funny--above is a game of Bananagrams with a sleeping grandma in the background.  :0)  And, below, Grandpa drives all the floats and boats to the lake.  You can't tell in this pic but he's also wearing a swim mask.  :0)

Hanging around the campfire circle one afternoon.  The great thing about going to Madeline Island is that it is so relaxing.  There is lots of playtime for the kids, visiting time for everyone, and time to relax as well.  We spent a lot of our time outside, the weather was just beautiful, very few mosquitoes and great temps.  We even had some rain one night and the next morning.
