I spent many a hour fishing with my family. Lots of bullheads! On the way home we would pick some corn and head to Grandma's. In the basement my Dad and Uncle would skin and take the heads off so Grandma could fry them up and we would have them with rice potatoes. Usually fresh tomatoes too! I remember catching them on bubblegum. They would bite on anything. We only went camping once or twice.<br /><br />Ever since my kids have been born we have gone on vacation 2 times a year. One week in the snow for Christmas and snow skiing. Summer is always at the beach somewhere down south. Everyone has great memories of these times. There are 8 grandkids and the oldest is 24. I wish that we would have taken the kids camping but we just aren't campers. <br /><br />You have wonderful memories and I am so glad your family loves the outdoors like you do. Your photos are wonderful.Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-35369332344319349172011-02-07T21:37:57.657-07:002011-02-07T21:37:57.657-07:00Very cool background; our family was large and spr...Very cool background; our family was large and spread out in ages. But never went to MN or WI.

It's rather disturbing. On my next trip home, in summer, I hope to see the Chicago Botanical garden on Lakeshore Drive. We always go by it because everyone else has an agenda....well this time, my agenda will happen:) I saw it from afar several years ago and was bummed not to be able to go. But the Shedd aquarium is always fun:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-15488885464605880292011-02-07T21:19:06.009-07:002011-02-07T21:19:06.009-07:00Two Rivers..I know that place...you are so right t...Two Rivers..I know that place...you are so right that we Chicagoans love your home state...Even now I love the trip up to Ellison Bay to The Clearing<br />But from where I stand you were a rich kid...camping trips and all that fun<br />We NEVER went on a vacation when I was growing up..my dad worked 6 days a week ..mostly night shift...and on Sunday ..church and chores for all of us.....And there were other issues..but anyway....I am so happy to see that you see that you had a great family...and the world is blessed by all your family's procreating<br />and its love of nature and each other's company..good people<br />I say you are one lucky fella<br />...loved the sweater vestSuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.com
