July 4th at the Oswald Cabin

 Getting ready for the parade to start!

 Grabbing for some of his candy loot from the parade.  It was sooo warm, some of the floats were handing out popsicles instead of candy.

 Taking a swim.  It was so fun to watch Kellen in the water.

 Catching fish with Papa.  Check out the whopper on the end of that line.

 Clearly Kellen is not afraid of the worms like his mommy is.

 Papa was teaching Kellen how to use the bobber.  We will continue to work on his fishing patience :)

 Sleeping Beauty.

 Kellen and Mommy on a tube ride.  He had sooo much fun.

Crow Cabin

 Austin was trying to convince Kellen to jump into the lake from the dock.  AS you can see from the pictures that follow it did not take much convincing :)

 MMMM...gotta love a campfire and a smore.

We had such a great weekend with the Crows up in Shell Lake.  All of Austin's siblings and their significant others were able to make it up.  Miss Ellie got to meet lots of new poeple.  We were a little nervous about traveling in the car for 4 hours with a newborn.  All was well, this little lady is a champ.  We look forward to many more family weekends in Shell Lake.
