This year we were unable to grab up the cabins at Waffle Farms but we did manage to get an Airbnb just about 7 houses down from where uncle Russ and Aunt Julie rent theirs (728 N Hawley Dr). It made for a little bit more of a challenge meeting up with everyone but it wasn’t horrible. The owner rented out the pontoon for $700 for the week which we couldn’t pass up! The weather cooperated nicely with just a few showers mostly in the mornings. We got some great sandbar time in with lots of skiing and tubing. Bennett even learned to ski this year. He got up the first try! The evening’s were spent at my parents campsite with wiffleball behind the campfire circle which involved all the kiddos. This was Tyler’s first year using his new (uncle Russ old) boat. And you could tell he had the best time with it. This vacation is always a great reminder to keep how lucky we are to have the family that we do. We also had our annual fishing competition. Winners listed below.
