July 17-25 Wisconsin with the Cantzlers

July 17-25, 2015

We were fortunate to take nearly one month to enjoy Lake Michigan at our vacation home in Wisconsin this summer. We hosted Ryan's family, then my family and then had a few days to ourselves.

Views of Madison, Wisconsin. We stopped here on our way to the Lake.

Elena hamming it up on a park bench.

Within 10 minutes of arrival, this girl was eating sand.

I could get used to this view every morning. 

The morning sun can be so bright, sometimes wearing shades in the house is necessary.

Mommy-daughter beach time.


Daddy-daughter beach time.

Plus Brayden.
