If you are a regular reader of this blog, we are trying something new with this post.  It is called Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real--the idea being to post a picture from each category.  The women at the blog Like Mother Like Daughter came up with the idea, and they do it every Thursday.  These are all from our camping trip to Madeline Island.  

{Pretty}

Madeline Island is pretty.  The beach there is beautiful, one of the most idyllic places I've been in years. I never knew one could swim in lake Superior, since we usually see it from it's North Shore.  We were all happy to take a dip in the clear and not too cool water.  The sand was like something straight from the Caribbean.  

{Happy}

This is our youngest camper, and she is happy!  Taking a baby tent-camping turned out very well.  

{Funny}

I told Nova to be sure she got the sunscreen all the way to her hair line.  This is what happened.  She was mock-exasperated, but even she had to admit that it was rather funny.  

{Real}

Here is the reality of a seven hour road trip with four kids.  Never mind that it was supposed to be a four hour trip.  Construction, construction, construction.
