Madden's Trip

Every year for the past 20+ years, my family and my Dad's whole side has gone up to Brainerd, MN and stayed at Madden's golf resort. It is so fun and a great week to spend catching up with family. I have so many memories from here from when I was little, it is now fun to bring my own children up there to create those memories for our family. Kaylie still finds it hard to believe that I came here when I was a little girl.
This year, Ryan and I and the girls didn't stay at Madden's. We thought it would be fun to stay at a hotel that had a waterpark for the girls. The girls had blast there! We still hung out at Madden's everyday with my mom and dad and all of our other relatives. It was a very fun and relaxing trip. Here are a few pictures from our vacation.
