Summer Trip up North

After the Kreider's moved up north we decided to take a trip to the UP to visit. It was well worth the drive. We spent the first night in Mackinaw City to break up the drive. Packed up early morning and headed over the Mackinac Bridge. The girls were troopers in the van and did awesome. Mike on the other hand had to stop at every fudge and beef jerky place he saw. We finally arrived in Spread Eagle Wisconsin at the Kriegl House, Jaclynn's parents. We enjoyed every minute of the time we spent there. We saw a few awesome water skiing shows, Mike broke his butt, Hayden went water skiing, and went to a red neck zoo. We got to take a long canoe ride with the kids and no one tipped. We went out to camp, rode a 4 wheeler, had a bar-b-que, and Mike got to do some fishing in in the rapids. We had a great time and hope to do it again this next summer. That is if the Kriegl's and Kreider's will let us back.

Good time for a family pic
