Vacation

We spent the last week of July at Belle Shores Resort in northern MN. We had a great time, and are looking forward to spending a week up there again next year. We had awesome weather this year, and were able to spend a lot of time in to boat, and on the beach enjoying the water.

Here's the week in pictures:

One of our traditions is going to the Dorset House for Ice Cream, here we are ordering:

The kids & I with my big sunfish:

Wednesday night, the moon was really cool. It was orange. We've never seen anything like it. It was beautiful:

Thursday morning the kids participated in the minnow races:

Both kids loved riding on the fun bugs:

Andrew still loves to Kayak, and went out whenever he could. He's really good at steering and paddling this year, so we went out quite a bit. Jenna liked to go out too, but isn't big enough to got by herself so she would ride with Bruce or I.

Bruce with one of his fish. The kids got a kick out of this one because he jumped right out of the live well!All rested up after a great week!

Another highlight for the week was being stopped by the water patrol. He stopped us while we were out kayaking and paddle boating to give the kids a certificate for a free ice cream cone or burger at DQ (they each got one), just because they were wearing their life jackets. We thought it was a great way to reinforce that they need to wear their life jackets.
