.up north wisconsin.

After our stop in Minnesota we went a couple hours further to Rice Lake, Wisconsin. My mom, dad, and 2 of my older brothers live there.

The boys have 23 cousins on the Kay side of the family!

A few of the cousins and Grandpa Kay

We spent the day with the Kay family and then headed over to the Cegielski cabin....a few hours further into Wisconsin.

We have been blessed to have the Cegielski's as dear friends for about 11 years.

God has allowed us to stay close even though we live so far apart...I am so thankful!

Ashli is like the sister that the boys never had!

The Cegielski cabin is the most relaxing vacation for our family....like an all-inclusive resort!

Jeff and Jodi took amazing care of us and had all the meals perfectly planned and cooked for us every day!

I really got spoiled waking up to the smell of bacon or sausage every morning! :)

World's best grilled sweet corn!!

These two got quite a bit of fishing time together...but Tim still doesn't like touching them!

I found these two hiding in the kitchen sneaking some cookies...Creedy and Jeff became quick friends!

Bubby's catch

Sony's catch

Every night around 4:00 we would grab some sodas and snacks and all pile into the boat for an evening cruise...loved it!

Lou kept the fire going 24 hours a day...it is his favorite job at the cabin and something he really looks forward to.

Anderson is a little nervous as Jeff and Tim are trying to throw Jordan off the tube.

They succeeded!

Jodi (8 months pregnant with little Austin John) and Ashli...I love these girls!

This little guy stood on the pier and caught little fish for hours. Then he would ask Ashli to take them off for him! :)

Lou made Creedy his own little fire.

Not far from the cabin is Little Bohemia Lodge. It is the place where John Dillinger was staying and almost was caught by the FBI. The place still has all the bullet holes and broken glass from the shoot out.

We went back to the cabin and watched Public Enemy... The Little Bohemia is in the movie.

The bullet holes....

The broken glass even though you can't tell in this picture...

Oh...I love this place!

The loft where we got to stay...perfect!

Tim ALMOST had a 45" Muskie!!!!

Last boat ride of the week ...already looking forward to the next trip to the cabin!

Cegielski's...thank you for the awesome week at the cabin...it was a perfect week!

Thank you for caring for our family SOOOO well.

We love and miss you guys!
