Minocqua Weekend

This past weekend we made our annual Kalita Family trip up to Minocqua, WI.

We dropped Marley off in Wausau so Grandma could spoil her, and we spent a few days up in

the North Woods with Tim, Val and the kids, the Ogilvie's and the Corbin's.

As luck would have it, we had one of the coldest weekends of the summer.  The high on

Saturday was 54 degrees!!  Friday was a little warmer topping out around 65 degrees so we

figured that was the day to make our trip to the beach.  Owen LOVES the water and loves

playing in the sand, so it was the perfect place for him to run and have fun for a little while.

His favorite part was probably playing in the water with his daddy.

 

 

With it being pretty chilly on Saturday we decided to go walk around the downtown area and
make our very important stop at Dan's Fudge shop.  I'm not sure how we do it, but we rarely
leave without spending over $50 on fudge, bear paws, and an obscene amount of salt water
taffy.  Sure we'll be eating taffy for the next 2 months, but it is without a doubt worth every penny. 

Later that afternoon we went out on the lake to get some good boat action in.  50 degees...boat ride...why not??  

Tim, Val, Pete and John even braved the water for some last minute water ski action, 
which gave Owen and Ruby some good entertainment. 

 
And what better way to wind down the day than a little S'mores party?  YUM!!

Even with the cold weather and the craziness of having five kids under age 3 in one cottage,
we had a blast spending time together.  Thank you Simones' for letting us use your
cottage for the weekend.  As always, great times and great memories.
