All of us except for Keegan spent last week in a remote cabin near Ely, Minnesota – one of my favorite places on Earth. We had such a great time! We saw lots of wildlife that I would not have expected to see, including a fisher (a type of large weasel), many bald eagles, a sable fox, and even a moose. I have been wanting to see one of those in that area for many years.
Check out the photos on my 2010 photos page.
Last weekend we visited my in-laws who now live in northern Wisconsin. It was the first time we’ve seen them since they moved in July, and we had a good time doing a lot of fun things. The younger children got to ride a pony; Keegan, Bryan and I got to shoot a rifle at a firing range (this was the first time I’d ever shot a gun); we took some experimental photos of the clear night sky that was full of stars. And we celebrated birthdays for Michele and Brinley. Here are some photos from the trip:
