Reunion Time

We had the opportunity to GET AWAY for awhile and enjoy some time with Daniel's side of the family this week.  We stayed at a Resort right on the lake and it was VERY nice.  Here are just some pics of us. 

This is how we found jonthan the first morning underneath his pillow. 

We found an awesome sunflower field and decided it was perfect for the family photo.

I have no idea who this person is

We then went to Itasca State park to see the headwaters of the Mississippi River...yes, my kids were thrilled, cant you tell??!

My nephew Seth and the big black bear!

So this is where it starts!!! Looks impressive doesnt it?!

Jonathan and Lydia getting their feet wet in the Mississippi!!

People crossing the mighty Mississippi River--- or at least the headwaters.

All of us sitting on the walking bridge over the beginning of the river.

Wade out a little bit deeper...wait daddy hasn't taken off his shoes yet.

Cousin Samuel pushing his cousins down the trail.

Just a short nap on the drive back to the Resort.

Lydia with her great Aunt Sandy and Uncle Jeff

Uncle Adam with Jonathan and the locals

Lydia eating a lemon watch the reaction...

I think she likes it... what do you think?????

While out driving we say a display of some very different playground setups.

Where's Lydia?

Now to complete the behind the wheel requirements then the DL.

While on the early morning fishing trip Daniel caught the new family record for a Large Mouth Bass. 20.25 inches and 4.8 lbs.

Neither child was fully awake but each wanted to see it.

A few animals on our afternoon senic boat ride

MN state bird -- the Loon (with a baby)

Well tomorrow we will be on the road again but this time headed home. Every good thing comes to an end at some time - Our vacation and this post. We trust that you enjoyed following us through our family reunion.
