Paddle Party

Last Fall I bid on a "paddle party" for 12 at a silent auction for Luke's school and we were excited to enjoy it with our friends one night.  We had such a fun time.  Paddle is an awesome sport, enjoyed best with a great group.

These are our "game faces"









The whole group!


Cousin Orrin's party in WI on Sunday



Dumped with sow


Trying out the used snow shoes we got
Still getting the hang of them



It wasn't really packing snow, but Luke and I tried!  Snow blob


This looks like a good seat


Snow fort (may have been reinforced by a table by Matt - since it wasn't packing snow, as mentioned)






Matt's night out with the guys

Grandpa Emil taught Luke how to play chess and he is so into it.  He has since taught Claire and me! 

Matt has had his eye on lake house properties in Pleasant Prairie, WI for years.  We think it would be the only place to get a lake house that would make sense for our family - just 30 minutes away from home, right on Lake Michigan.  We fell in love with this beautiful house, and so did Matt's parents!  Lucky for us, by pooling our budgets we could afford going in on it together.  We submitted an offer and it was accepted!  Woo hoo!  We are proud lake house co-owners!

Donna and Emil's house in Waukegan (just 20 minutes from the lake house) looked gorgeous with the snowfall

Sledding fun



The frozen creek was tons of fun


Walking on the frozen ice
This girl bounces everywhere around the house these days, she doesn't seem to walk anywhere.
