~July~

I have not written in some 

time.  In case you were wondering

Matthew has made it home from camp:)

In fact he enjoyed his time at Manito-wish

very much.  He has plans of attending 

again next year and possibly becoming

a counselor someday.  For months now he has 

been relaying stories to us from camp.

After we welcomed him home we 

were busy with hockey skates and baseball bats.

Wesley finishing up the season of baseball.

Parade Day!

We had a huge parade day turn out this 

year.  Almost everyone from the 

hockey association stopped by.

Lots of friends and family too.

When Tom took his annual trip 

to Lake of the Woods

my mom and I took the 

kids to Breezy Point.

We were lucky enough to be able 

to stay at Wayne and Candyce's 

condo.  We had such a great time.

They are so amazing to let us stay up 

there.  We took full advantage of the 

amenities.  We took a nine mile bike ride 

from Pequet Lakes to Nisswa.

We raced 

turtles in the annual turtle race.  Swam 

in beautiful Pelican lake and the pool.

Tillie, my mom and I even had a 

spa day! 

We saw Frog and Toad at the community
theater and of course had ice cream.

The rest of July and August were
fully dedicated to the pontoon.

Any free time we had we were on
the water.

The kids love tubing and swimming.
Mostly they have loved exploring all
the islands on the St. Croix.

This summer had been thoroughly
enjoyed by our whole family!
