Hayward 2014 | The Finale

Now that August is almost over and the start of school is less than a week away, I feel that I really should finish up the posts about our July family vacation.  Other than the time we spent on or in the water, we did enjoy campfires, making s’mores, going into town for mini golf and keeping Sebastian sharp for his baseball season at the local field.   We also fed ducks, went for walks/runs, the kids fished, Sophia used her scooter and Sebastian used his long board.  There were plenty of card and board games and even one movie night on a rainy evening.  The week went by quickly…too quickly, but we enjoyed our time together and look forward to our next vacation.

Hayward 2014 | The Lake

Our rental cabin was located in a bay on Round Lake in Hayward, Wisconsin.  Sebastian snapped this picture with his iPhone one evening.

Beautiful Reflection

Mike and the kids enjoyed lots of boating and playing on/in the water.  I did too, I’m just not in any of the photos. 🙂
