Since school started after Labor day this year, we were able to squeeze in one last trip to the lake. The weather was amazing and the kids got in some additional swimming time.

This year we took the kids to Itasca State Park so they could see the headwaters (or head quarters as they kept referring to them). They had fun playing in the Mississippi, and walking down it.

Bruce & the kids walked down the Mississippi (while I pushed the stroller on the trail). They had fun, and it was fun to see (& hear) them everywhere the trail crossed the river.

| All done walking the river. |
Once back at the resort, the kids had all kinds of fun fishing, swimming, kayaking and playing with their new friends.

We also got to help Grandpa Russ celebrate his birthday while up there.

| Happy Birthday! |

| Clapping for Grandpa (he blew out all the candles) |

On the way to the lodge there is a turtle pond. By the time we were there it was down to 1 turtle, the rest had escaped. Mikey enjoyed checking on the turtle every chance he got.
