Tuttle Lake 2011

We are back from our annual trip up to Tuttle Lake, in Wisconsin. This is the highlight of the year for the kids. It's so fun to be a part of and watch them take it all in, make memories and just love every moment of it. I can't believe how fast kids catch onto traditions and this is definitely one of the big ones for them already.

We finally had good weather this year! The sun came out almost everyday and we only had one day of rain...a huge improvement from previous years. So, we got a lot of swimming, boating, skiing, tubing and fishing in.

Wow, right?
Our humble abode for the week...the Visser's cottage. Scott's family has been renting this cottage for 36 years.

There is a bald eagle that perches in a dead tree right on the lake and this year we saw it everyday. Scott and Todd saw it catch a fish and fly to the tree. It was an amazing sight.

Scott is an amazing slalom skier. He loves it and it's fun to watch him.
The tube of fun...4 of us could fit on for a nice peaceful ride around the lake.
