Jebel Visit

Here is another gallery ready. This one is of another trip to Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs place – Jacobs’ Jebel. The cousins were still there which meant some sledding and Nora got a sewing lesson.

Gingerbread houses are another tradition. This time around we built 3 houses so the kids did some pairing up with cousins. Since we arrived back in Wisconsin so late in December there would not have been time to bake all of the pieces so Crystal made them well ahead of time in Saudi and we carried them over in our luggage. Enough of the pieces survived to make a go of the houses.

Kai goes all "Jack London" and lights a fire in the snow using only a small bit of dry wood and his smoldering teen angst.

We won't freeze this night.

More Vacation Pictures

If vacation officially ends when you get on the plane to go home then we have only about 60 minutes left. If it ends when you land at the other end then we still have a full 24 hours left. Enjoy these random vacation pictures. Though vacation is ending there are still hundreds of photos to sort through so expect a few more posts in the days to come.

Family Weekend at the Cabin

It was a beautiful day in Northern Wisconsin as the Jacobs, Posts and Wiemann’s got together on Bass Lake for some boating, a good meal and a campfire.
