Family Adventure 2011

Our family adventure began on Saturday morning when we packed up the car and headed north to Kennan Wisconsin for a Krell family reunion.

 Jack was happy to see his family.  His parents recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.  Here is Jack with his parents, his brother Bill, his sister Ronda, his brother Rick, and his other brother John.  His sister Lauri didn't make it to the reunion.

 
Sunday morning we made our way to Bayfield Wisconsin where we boarded the ferry that took us to Madeline Island.  We spent two nights on Madeline Island experiencing the "island way of life".  Definitely different.  Definitely a lot of fun!

The weather was very cold for the days spent on Madeline Island.  The high was about 50 degrees.  

Monday we spent our day at Big Bay State Park.  The views and atmosphere of Lake Superior were spectacular!

Tuesday morning we headed to the mainland early.  Storms were in the forecast for the area and it was posted that the ferries would not run on their usual schedule if weather doesn't allow.  It was cold and wet when we boarded.

On our way home we took our time and made stops along the way.  The rain was off and on, but timing seemed to work in our favor.  We decided to stop and hike the trails and check out some waterfalls at Copper Falls State Park.  I was totally impressed!


Another stop along the way was a covered bridge.
 
And some lunch.
 
Tonight we are all snuggled in our own beds.  Our adventure and time together was great.  Many memories were made.  I am already working our next adventure!
