More fun at the Cottage

A few weekends ago Jared and I took a trip "Up North" to see Scott, JoAnn and Grandma Betty. We had a lot of fun doing the usual cottage activities. Sleeping, eating, reading, basically fabulous relaxation. We did a few other new activities..

Jared doing a little target practice.

Me shooting my first gun

We went out cruising on the frozen lake

My hot cabin gear.. I didn't have any warm clothes to wear out on the 4-wheeler, so I took what I could get.

Here's one to tell the kids...

For those of you who have always lived in a home that was built after 1930, you won't know what is going on in these pictures... To give you all a little insight to living in Milwaukee: The winters are brutally cold and the houses old and not insulated. You really can feel a breeze of cold air when you sit by a closed window. In attempt to help insulate we put plastic on the windows. It sounds funny, but it really helps. How it works is you put double sided tape around the window, then put up a sheet of plastic and then you use the blow dyer to shrink it.



It's a lot of fun!
