OUR FAVORITE FAMILY VACATION~~2009 My boys and I really didn't vacation that often before moving in with the Mister. Their Father and I took Matchu to the Omaha Zoo once and then we took all 4 boys to Minneapolis/St Paul for one weekend when Nono was 18 months. We did some tent camping the Summer before I left their Father. That was about the extent of our vacationing while married the entire 15 years. We just never budgeted or couldn't budget for a vacation. I told myself after I left with the boys, that I would try to at least go camping every Summer, I wanted to create those fun Summer memories. Since living with the Mister we have been to the Wisconsin Dells, camping at Back Bone Park, Chicago, Chicago Six Flags 2 times, Milwaukee, and this year we rented a house off of a lake for a week in Minnesota. The back of the house we rented for the week. Ours is the house on the left side of the picture. Some of our children on our pier, right after we arrived at the house. Our
