Jordan Family Vacation [Wisconsin 2012]

Early August we joined my parents and my mom's two sister's fmailies in Wisconsin for a long weekend. Their were 25 of us and people came and went all week long.  We took a similar trip to the Ozarks in the summer of 2008, so it was time to all get together again.

Let's start off with where we went...
We actually stayed in a cabin in a small town called Nelson, WI but it was close to Wabasha, known for the movie 'Grumpy Old Men'

It was right on the Wisconsin River
So we spent our days boating...
and playing in the water...



and snacking on the beach...

and listening to great music...

and climbing up huge, hot sand mountains...
and rafting...

and taking naps on the boat...
a couple of us even skied and tubed...
and one of us was peeing in the woods and drinking cheap beer all week...
and one of us got his boat stuck on more than one occasion...

After our days at the lake we went out to dinner...

or grilled at the cabin...

it was usually followed with a campfire...


A few group photos...

The cousins...oh and lets eat a huge meal and then take photos again, so I can make it really obvious that I'm still rocking tons of extra weight...

Our Family...
My little family...
My mom and her sisters [the ladies that planned this trip]
THANK YOU!

A few last fun ones...


Adam was not thrilled, but hey...we may never make it back to Wisconsin!

And then we headed home...
None of us were too excited about that, but at least our Murdock was waiting for us when we arrived! :)
