After a restless night for the smallest member of our group we spent the day in Minocqua.  We visited the beach, downtown and Otto’s Beer Garden.  While at the beach Madison enjoyed picking rocks from water and putting them in her bucket.  After the beach Mom and Dad enjoyed lunch.  We all enjoyed going to the small shops that Minocqua has to offer.

Back in Rhinelander we were able to get our first Old Fashioned (Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet with a cherry) of the week. Getting an Old Fashioned has been our unofficial start of vacation while we are in the Northwoods.  At dinner we were able to share it with Grandpa Dick.

I was able to get some night photography in.  Being away from the big city allows for you to see many of the stars including a very light milky way.
