2011

 2011.... it always amazes me when I look back on a year how FULL that year was.. I tend to think I have a boring life but when I look back.. I cannot believe all that we pack into a year!  I have tried and tried again and again to organize my pictures in the time that they happened but my computer is not letting me do this.. so the pictures are NOT in order at all.. .but here is what we did throughout 2011.. and I know I forgot a few things!



I went on an amazing trip to Boca Raton, FL with an awesome friend!!



We went to Frankenmuth!



Had Easter at our house this year!









Playing at the waterpark at Kensington









We went to the annual Balloon Festival.. is you haven't been to this...you really should go.. SO much to do and SO much fun!

 

We made it out to my Uncle Dave's who lives on a lake for a family gathering

 

We went back to the Wisconsin Dells with some friends... SUCH a good time... we literally have so much fun that I cry when I have to leave!
