Vacation highlights

July 11-16 we had a chance to go on vacation to a cabin near Pelican Rapids. We went with 2 other families we are friends with. In total there were 9 children under the age of 8 (yes, we are crazy). In theory it was a good idea since everyone would have a playmate. We also knew we would eat very good as our friend the chef was going along too. He even brought his own mixer!

We spent 5 days at the cabin. The first 2 days were basically spent inside due to the rain. Finally on Monday, the sun broke out and we all jumped into the lake. We spent 2 days playing in the water and soaking up the sun (more than enough in some cases). There were only a couple incidents of near panic. Noah ended up in the lake when he leaned over too far on the dock while trying to turn the wheel for the boat lift. I stepped on a bee which stung me between my toes (ouch)

Overall it was relaxing and would definitely go again if invited. Here are some pictures of the fun.
