This past weekend we met up with our friends Ben & Crystal in Kettle Moraine State Forest in southeastern Wisconsin to go camping.
Morgan, Lena and Ben on the trail on Saturday.
Unfortunately we were prepared for torrential rain (which didn't come) but not for squadrons of mosquitoes the size of helicopters. Here Paul displays wounds received during our hike Saturday morning.
Crystal, Morgan, Lena, and Ben taking a break from the bugs in a backpacking shelter.
The view from the shelter in the photo above. Kettle Moraine was beautiful but the bugs got the best of us. After camping Friday night we spent the day hiking and swimming on Saturday and then bailed to Ben & Crystal's home in Madison for Saturday night. We are hoping to return to this shelter sometime in the fall when things are cooler and there are less small biters.

I've got some pictures up on my blog too. What a weird mix - beautiful spot, dodged a bullet with the weather, unbelievable bad mosquitoes. We'll have to try again.
