Ely...again

Well, I haven't been posting as much as I would like since we've all been sick over here.  It has hit me the hardest which means we are way behind on our "To Do" list around the house.  But, this morning, in the few minutes it takes Joe and Ruby to take Kai to school (he is back today after being sick), I want to update you with some fun photos of our Sept. trip to Ely.  Ahhh, sweet Ely.  I could use a few days to recover in Ely right now.

Ely in the fall is my absolute favorite (although I think I might say that for every season).  We were able to explore much more deep in the woods because there were no mosquitoes and cuddling up in front of the fire, eating popcorn, and reading books has to be one of the best things ever.  My mom and brother joined us and we were all so happy to be together.  Kai would be glued to my brother if he could so it really just couldn't get better.

It's a throne!



It's hunting season- which means orange hats for everyone

This is the couch in front of the fire..heaven




The first day, Ruby would not walk in front of the grizzly bear that is on the wall.  By Day #2, she was convinced it was a teddy bear named Bubba and he wasn't scary at all.

Kai slept in the loft that Nana Kit and Pops made for him for the first time



Look at that grin!
