A Camping we went...
Wow has it really been a long time since I toyed with this silly blog, oh well, times are busy!

We have had a wonderful summer, just did our very first "real" camping trip. Won the camping prize from Aunt Julie at Christmas time and we were treated to a weekend at Blackhawk Lake outside of Highland, WI. We got to stay in her very fabulous camper (kitchen, bathroom and AC included!!), this is the only way I will camp, I am so NOT a camping type gal. But the kids had a great time and are already planning on winning the weekend this Christmas.

We hiked, played at the beach, played at the park, went for a boat ride around the lake, ate way to much junk food and had an overall perfect time! It was just nice to hang out with Jeff and just relax.

Speaking of Jeff boy has he been busy, before the camping he was in Alabama for a tournament, luck wasn't on his side, he "lost" his release the second day of competition and just missed out on the final shoot out, there's always next year... Then after camping he was off to Ellicottville, NY for an outdoor world championship. Luck wasn't there either, had a rough first day and couldn't make the difference up even after a spectacular day two. But the guys all had a good time and really that is what it is all about. Now we are in full swing with the Archery season just around the corner, opening day is Sept 13. And in between getting customers in and out the door, Jeff is trying to get himself ready for Bear hunting, he's leaving us again next week, this time it's only Northern WI. I hope we can change the luck this last trip, the kids are all hoping daddy comes home with a monster bear!

Me, well its life as usuall taking care of the monsters, we are really ready for school to start, Carter and I miss our schedule. I have been doing quite a few photo shoots, and LOVING it!!! So if you're out there and need a family shot, HS seniors, kids, pets, really I will take pictures of just about anything, give me a call. And I made my photo blog public, so check out the my business link and give me some comments. I think that's next on the list, gotta add some new photos to that one...

Very cute pics. So glad that you updated...gotta keep tabs on all my scraping buds! I am starting to think I am not a camping girl anymore...I can't imagine doing it the old fashioned way anymore...love those campers!

I am still shivering inside about the idea of coming face to face with a bear! Yikes! So scary!

Wishing you lots of luck with the business...I might be getting closer to starting one...need better equip!!

Wow, Nicole- those senior photos are so great! Such beautiful girls... and you picked such awesome backgrounds for them, they look wonderful. I'm so happy things are working out for you and that you are having fun with it. So cool!

We camped the last 2 summers but wussed out this one. I don't think I can do a tent again either! I need to find friends with a camper, ha.
