Firetrucks

We had breakfast at the fire house on Harsen's Island. The boys had fun sitting in the fire trucks. Derrick had a lot of fun jet skiing past the ships!

Beach Day

We had two days of beautiful weather. We anchored the boat so the kids to walk back and forth between the boat and the shore. They had a lot of fun playing in the sand and on the jet skis!

Labor Day Weekend

This year we spent Labor Day weekend up at the cottage. The Kerbers, Baba and Sindu, and my nephew Derrick were all able to come along! Here are some pictures of the boys jumping off the bridge on our way out to the island.

Lake Beulah, WI

We spent a weekend this summer at Lake Beulah with the Geberts. They rented a house right on the lake. We had our jet skis there so we were able to spend a lot of time on the water. It was a very relaxing weekend!

Denver, CO

We spent our last day in Colorado in Denver. We started the morning on Larimer Street. We found a really great cafe for breakfast. We tried to go on a tour of the Mint but the tours were sold out for the day. We went on a tour of the state Capital. Then we went to my favorite place - Invesco Field at Mile High where the Denver Broncos play football! We were planning to take a tour but it was closed for American Idol try outs. I was so disappointed!!! After our visit to Denver, we drve to Omaha, NE where we spent the night. Saturday we drove the rest of the way back to Chicago. We had a great family vacation!!!

Continental Divide

On our way to Denver, we drove across the Continental Divide. This drive was a little scary for me! The roads were so narrow and curvy, but Michael did a good job driving! I can't imagine driving that in the winter!

Keystone Hike

The day before we left we took a short hike in Keystone. After the hike, come of the cousins took a bath!
