Happy 2012 everyone - hope your festivities were enjoyable and safe. We are clearing out the backlog of photos from the last half of 2011. So here goes nothing!!

We again spent a week at Campers Paradise in central Minnesota. This year the weather was perfect, as these happy campers can attest!

Hanging out at the campsite.

Camping hair!

Reading by the Camp-Inn.

The kids tented most of the week.

Isaac's birthday in Iowa.

First day of school - Maddie started third grade and Isaac started kindergarten.

Isaac's 6th birthday!

A September hike along the St. Croix river in Interstate Park along the Minnesota - Wisconsin border.

Our intrepid hikers.

Scenic rest break.

Interstate Park is known for its sinkholes. Look what we found at the bottom of this one!

A maze of twisty narrow passages, all alike.

In October, Lisa and I escaped to Las Vegas - I had a conference and we went out a few days early. We took a hike in the hills north of town.

The sun falls behind the rocks.

At the top, overlooking Las Vegas.




Hermione and Boba Fett prepare for an evening of Halloween plunder.

Normally she's driving her parents up a tree...

All Isaac wants for Christmas is his two front teeth (and Lego Star Wars, of course).

Madeline turned 9 in November!

Lisa and the kids.


Isaac and the sweater that Lisa knitted for him for Christmas. Just call her Mrs. Weasley!
Best wishes to you all in 2012!
