Uncle Frank and Aunt Kelley's

After hanging out with Jen in Mundelein, we continued our roadtrip to the Northwoods and hung out with Uncle Frank, Aunt Kelley, and Ashley at their amazing cabin on Lake Manitowish. We grabbed lunch, hung out at the cabin, went out on the pontoon boat exploring the chain of lakes at the end of their dock, and Sean and Kelley went out on the wave runner for a spin around the lake. Sean took me out too, not going the wild 55mph that Kelley boasts, but only about 20mph because of little Baby D.

After a fantastic dinner, Ash, Aunt Kelley, Kelley's dad, Sean and I went out on another pontoon ride, just star gazing and checking out various firework displays lighting up the sky. Its so interesting listening to all the stories of how the lake has changed over the years and all the memories that Kelley, Ashley, and Kelley's dad shared together after being apart of the Manitowish community since before Kelley was even born!

I, of course, was rocked to sleep by the smooth pontoon and cool breeze on my face.
so memorable.
Ashley, Sean, and I tried to stay awake to watch "Public Enemies" highlighting John Dillinger's hiding in Manitowish Waters at Little Bohemia (a place where Aunt Kelley used to work!) but we all fell asleep sometime in the middle of the movie :)




The Fig Family met up with us in town the next morning. They too have a cabin and were on their way up for Fourth of July lakefront celebrations. Although it was short, it was so fun to see Lauren, Jordan, Aunt Sharon, and Uncle Pat! Can't wait to do it all again!

Thanks Uncle Frank and Aunt Kelley for having us up! We had a blast!
