I’ve always tried to share a little bit of our personal life with photos on our blog over the last 8 years. To keep up with this trend I thought I’d share a few fun photos from our “real” cameras (and video) from our week long 4th of July vacation at the family lake house in Long Lake, Wisconsin.

Below are a mix of some family photos, pics of our sweet niece and nephew and our olde english bulldogge Dexter. Dex you might know from Instagram as @dexterbulldogge as well as some fun drone landscape photos (and regular from the land landscapes, ha!).

I tell you what there is nothing like catching the drone off a boat with your hands for a serious RUSH!

It was great to take a week off and enjoy the 4th fishing and relaxing with family. Tanner and I had a blast but we are already back in the swing of things with two fun shoots this week (a fitness shoot (WOO!) and a commercial shoot for a new clothing line) already complete and a wedding Saturday to share soon in Dubuque.

Hope you all are having a wonderful summer!

Enjoy!

Tanner showing his mom how to fly…meanwhile Dexter thinks he would love to catch a drone! 😉 LOL!

The entire week was just gorgeous!

Our sweet boy loves the cabin!

Seriously…this thing rocks!

He’s so strange…note his feet…LOL! Awkward sitting dogs ftw!

Day 2 it was super cool so we were able to take Dex out with us. He loves to boat! 

All smiles watching us fish. 

So much action that the bulldog fell asleep (sitting up mind you) on the ride back to the cabin. LOL! I’m sure he was snoring but I just let him be to enjoy the wind in the jowls nap.

Us and some family, note Dexter had to squeeze into the photo too!

So pretty!

(Dexter is still recovering a week later, ha!)Hanging with his people, he loves lake life!Someone found a tennis ball in the lake…but he’s such a diva it stunk and he was upset to pick it up. HA!Woman back off with the camera. He’s such a drama queen!Out boating with family day 3!My guys on the dock. Self timer ftw! What a gorgeous sunset. Funny story…camera almost when in the lake due to the bulldog being upset he wasn’t included in the selfie. LOL! Thank goodness that old wooden bench we had the camera on held! My boys doing what they love. Fishing and relaxing. Dex just loved lake life!I was SO excited it was going to land! Maybe next year!Fun 4th on the lake!She was thrilled to drive the boat!Nothing is as fun as some bubbles!The lake has the best sunsets in the summer. Wisconsin you rock. MOM let me in for a nap! By the end of the week he was done for. Ha! So much fun!One of Tanner’s great catches! Also note the sweet fishing hat, props to the cool wedding gift going to good use! (I have one too…and yes they have our names on the back, ha!) #wearesocoolDex wanted to eat him 😉 The kids had a blast in the pool from grandma!More fun drone viewsShe was so brave, even petted the fish quick before we returned him to the water.
