Tubing, dam crossings, and more tubing

I think we spend most of the afternoons tubing...it's what the kids love the most! We have tried every combo and even all 4 at a time. They truly could do this all day long!



Today though, we made our annual trip to the Vermilion Dam and had a fantastic time, as usual. We made many crossings back and forth across the dam, then enjoyed some ice cream on the deck.






We have also had a visitor the past couple of days. He just sits there for hours looking over the lake.

Perfect MN Day

Picture perfect day on the Lake today! We had beautful sunshine the whole day with calm water. We spent pretty much all day on the water. Dad took us on a boat ride around the lake and we stopped at a beach area to swim for awhile.



After dinner we all went to the mini golf place for a round of putt-putt and ice cream.

Lake Days

The mornings at the lake are usually cool and sometimes rainy. We take advantage of that time by going to get scones at Sulus or just reading and relaxing.

But after lunch it usually gets just gorgeous and that's when the fun begins! We've been doing a lot of tubing, boat rides to Timbuktu, and jumping on the trampoline.

Back to the Lake

So, I know I haven't blogged since Halloween, but we are back at the lake and Issy's friend Lacey is back with us. That means I'm trying to post regularly so her family can see what's going on at the cabin. We left early in the morning, ate at Leeann Chins in the city, and arrived at the cabin a little after 5pm. Very cool! And as you can see everyone is doing what they do best....
