Vacation

No worries I haven't fallen off the face of the earth... We came back from a relaxing week of vacation by the lake to our daughter starting school. So it has been a whirl wind couple days in this house!

On our way to Clithrall, MN we stopped in Alexadria, MN to eat at Space Aliens. We have drove by this restaurant many times and have never stopped. After our adventure this year, it is going to be a yearly stop! It is a BBQ place mixed with Chuck E. Cheese. 

At the Lake, this is what our typical day looked like. Nothing but relaxation!

 ... and of course a little jetskiing! Dexter LOVED them. Most days started with a ride where he would fall asleep! 

Only 1 day out of the 6 we were there was cold (75ish). So we packed up the kids and went to Vinning, MN. In this small town of only a few hundred, a guy makes sculptures out of scrap metal and lawnmower blades. This sculpture was for his daughter Karen Nyberg, who was an astronaut.

 Vacation/Camping wouldn't be complete without Smore's!! Yummmy!!!

 I absolutely LOVE this picture! It just shows how peaceful this lake is at night. I also like that the kids are sitting nicely enjoying their smores together watching the sunset.

 A few years ago, we decided our jetskiis needed names. So, after much debating they were named Jenny and Cletus.
