Bishop Family Vacation

Every year for the past 3 years we've gone on a family vacation with my family. This year we went up Thursday and stayed until Sunday. We stayed at Eagle Ridge Resort at Lutsen. It was the first year we had a 3 bedroom cabin....and we needed it, so the parents could sleep while the grandparents hung out with the kids in the middle of the night! Thanks, Nana and Papa!! We had a wonderful time....lots of laughs (and even tears while playing cards--due to laughing so hard)....hiking, swimming, relaxing, eating and enjoying our time together!

Happy Madelyn before our first hike! She did awesome!!

 She is seriously, the cutest little girl!!

 The dads and the kids

 This was the best we could do for a "family" picture. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite make it in time and I couldn't get the camera set up much better. Bummer!

 The first night Bishop ran around the condo naked....he kept running around in circles and we were all laughing so hard we were crying! He was loving it and it was hilarious!

 Hanging out on a John Deere in the parking lot. Bishop thought it was pretty cool

 Auntie, Bishop, Madelyn and Uncle Ryan swimming!

Madelyn went swimming for the first time and went under water....she did great and loved the water!! Bishop preferred the hottub the first day, but the 2nd day he was kicking and splashing and having a great time!!

 Uncle Ryan letting the kids play with his iPad. 

 I've never seen Bishop sit still for as long as he did...we might have to get one! :) Ryan had an app that you can touch animals or trucks and it will play the sound that animal or truck makes.....a dog or firetruck, etc.

 Look at this big, cute girl!!! Sitting up all by herself and she's not even 6 months old!! Go Madelyn!

 Bishop was trying to help her, but he caused her to fall down more than anything.

 Saturday Luke went to St John's homecoming, so he left early. My dad hiked with Madelyn and Ryan was gracious enough to take Bishop hiking.

 Nana and her grandkids....of course she brought tons of treats, which we all loved (including Bishop)!!!

 Bishop and Papa! Bishop would continuously ask for Papa....it was the first thing out of his mouth every morning. They are quite the pals!
