Up North.

We recently came back from our vacation 

on beautiful Lake Edward

(between Brainerd & Nisswa).

We had such a great time.

Boating,

tubing,

fishing,

eating,

playing games,

bonfires,

playing on the beach,

swimming,

go karting,

shopping,

& anything else you do while on vacation Up North!

Both grandmas and grandpas came to visit

& spend a few nights.

And the boys sure had lots of fun with them.

Brock wouldn't let G'pa Wayne do anything without him

& just like usual cousin Gabe & Adler played together.

Grandma Yvonne bought the 3 boys a Cars t-shirt.

They LOVED them.

Adler thought he had to wear his everyday!

Sadie & Sam reading bedtime stories to Brock.

He sure loves them!

Lake Edward is so clear and so shallow.

Look how long the dock is.

At the end of the dock it's only waist deep!

It's wonderful.

Brockie of course being right next to Grandpa!

Mom, Joe & Gabe relaxing in the lake.

Adler, Sam, Sadie & Luke tubing behind the pontoon.

We were Up North on one of the hottest weeks of summer,

so everyone needed a fan to keep cool.

G & G Herdina having fun with the kids.

We spent most days having a few drinks in our lawnchairs

while the kids ran around playing.

The kids loved Candy the 'resort dog'.

Adler relaxing with cousin Sawyer.

Sadie is learning how to play cards.

I felt so bad for her.

Little does she know her Grandpa Eddie is a 

violent card player.  

He plays to kill!

I think she probably taught him a thing or two though!

'Boatin'

Adler loved swimming in the middle of the lake.

What a brave boy!

Shane at his finest!

Ready to snorkel for a great white shark I think.

Brock hanging out with Kylie.

See you next year Lake Edward!
