A Sommer's Tale: Madaline Island '08

Well Nate and I went on an Adult only trip the end of June and it was a great time, we went up to Madeline Island on Lake Superior with my cousin Alli and her husband Kurt and 3 other couples : Aaron and Sara Quam, Adam Ellingsberg and Kari Harbo and Karen Ronningen and Alvin Jones (aka AJ). We had a wonderful time on this long weekend, we rented a house up there that was very nice,right across the road from the Lake it was BEAUTIFUL!! We had really just one night of rain and it was a good thing Nate brought along ROCK BAND for that very instance :) we turned it into a rock band party that night!!! they had fun!!! we went sight seeing all around the island and tried to find some fairy's with no luck :( Some of us even went all the way into Lake Superior!!!! YIKES it was very cold, I think my body was going into shock actually!!! but all in all we had a wonderful time, Thanks Alli for the invite :) here are some pictures for you all to enjoy :

Ok so funny story here:
So we got to this place and it sleeps 8 supposedly and I guess that 2 of those 8 would need to sleep on an air mattress that was no where to be found but we needed it because we had 8 people along so we called the hotel that takes care of booking and maintaining this place and they told us where to look which we already had and then they said that they would bring one out to us, so this guy shows up with our Air Mattress but it turns out to be a Simmons beautyrest unopened REAL mattress!!!!! I have never seen or heard of such a thing :) It was too funny!!!
