Camp Belle & Papa

Nate and I were driving to work today and saw a billboard for Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. It had a picturesque midwestern lake with a dock and a kid(?) running off the end. It reminded him of a picture - a similar midwest lake scene - that someone had on their desktop in a factory in China. Both made him miss the midwest. I had my moment too, when I glanced at our sidewalk chalk art today and thought, wow - that's going to be there for a long time. I miss the rain. To help us remember our trip to the midwest, here are those Oconomowoc pictures I promised a few posts ago. The trip was quite like a week at your favorite summer (family) camp. Lou loved every minute.

Lou insisted on helping...she must be two

I'm biased, but I think we'd make a better Leinenkugel billboard
