The Long-Lost Anderson Island Files

We had the wonderful opportunity to stay with our close friends the Eustermans and the Stamschrors for a week on Anderson Island back in July. Since we had so much fun and took so many pictures, the task of blogging about it seemed a bit overwhelming... But, with many more adventures to share from the summer, we thought we'd better catch up quickly!

The trip started with a Costco run. Daniel, Noah and Ellie did a good job of picking out what they wanted to eat for the week.

Our cars packed to the brim on the ferry to Anderson Island.

Snack time on the ferry!
While the adults unpacked and got things set up, Daniel and Noah spent some quality time together...until Daniel decided to sit on Noah.


Daniel jumped right into the job of chore master...

...while Noah and Ellie worked on their walking skills.

Casey, Chris and Matt were able to spend a bit of time golfing.

The kiddos watch as the mommies go to have some much needed alone time.

Appetizers for dinner!

All of us dining al fresco.

Ellie sure enjoyed her dinner!

Aside from learning how to play with babies, Daniel learned many new things, like how to spot deer out the window...

...how to eat cereal with milk using an adult-sized bowl and spoon...

...how to build lego towers almost anywhere...

...how to play in and out of the lake...

...and how to compose his own music (or listen to the star wars theme over and over and over).

We love Anderson Island!
