Beckers 2008

For the last 20 some years Rob's family heads up north to Becker's resort. Prior to missing last year while being uncomfortably pregnant, I have going up there every year I have known Rob. This year of course there was one small change.. Cooper. It was a very different trip this year, but a wonderful one. Gone were the late night fires and binge drinking, they were replaced with putting Cooper to bed followed by a good night sleep and waking up with a hang over. I wouldn't have changed anything.We didn't do as much fishing as we normally do, but we did take Cooper out for his first trip out on lake Winnie. My idea for shade worked out pretty well. He even took a nap for a while which was nice.




We spent a lot of time at the pool as well. Cooper loved the water, even though it was really cold! Abby and Cooper had matching swim floats and enjoyed splashing each other.


Cooper finally got to meet his Aunt Kate who just came back from Africa and was able to join us at Becker's.




This year besides having Cooper up there, we had another small change. Instead of sharing a cabin with Ron and Donna we shared a cabin with Tim. This worked out really well. We had a quiet place to put Cooper down for naps and bedtime and we even talked Tim into helping change a diaper. I couldn't believe Rob actually talked him into it, so I had to take a picture.


Cooper did spend at least part of every day with grandma and grandpa watching him so Rob and I could run to town, go fishing or just go for a boat ride. It was really great for all of us. He enjoyed going into their fridge and pulling things out, pulling things out of their cabinets and grandpa showed him how to use a pot cover as a drum. Thanks grandpa. Grandma and grandpa also bought Cooper his first Becker's outfit, super cute.


They also have a play ground there and Cooper loved the swing. We had bought Cooper a wagon thinking how great it would be for Becker's and I have to admit I was right. The kids loved riding it in.

We were really lucky this year, Brynn and Jeff flew in from LA to stay with us for half the week as well. It was so great to see them again.

At some point in the week it's tradition that Rob, Roger, Ron and I have a fishing tournament up the river. Ron caught a nice rock bass, can you find it in the weeds? As for the winner, let's just say it was the one person who wasn't up there last year. ;)
