:: Lake Life ::

Well I FINALLY got a little vacation this past weekend up at "the lake". I really wish I could have stayed longer but I had a blast for the few days I was there. It was just as I remembered. French toast smell in the morning, fruit salad with dinner, reading books by the dock, watching all the aunties play Scrabble and of course our annual Survivor tournament. All of us cousins got split into two teams and we had to complete various events such as riddle solving, and obstacle course, and building a fire just to name a few. (I will post pictures from that later!) My team won (of course, I was on it haha). Out newest obsession this year was a game called Banagrams. If you have never heard of it, I suggest you go out and but it. It will change your life forever. I didn't take near as many pictures as I wanted to but I think I still got some fun ones. Enjoy!!

This is a common site at our cabin. Aunts with power tools. Notice to the soft cast on my Aunt Patty's foot (the one standing) Oh yea, even while injured she still helps work the power saw. And look at Sharon holding that beast. Pure strength. I have some pretty sweet aunts :)
This is what two weeks in the hot hot rays will get you. A wicked bad tan line. (notice the three shades, brown to red to SNOW white) hehe
This is Boots. My cousins dog. He is honestly the most passive dog I have ever met. You do not even remember he is there until you see him creep out from under the bed or table or anything else he can wedge himself into. 
And this little fro is Copper. He speaks when you tell him to. Its pretty awesome. And although he is a little bit on the strange side, he is still cute. Look at those curls!

:: Lovely Day at the Lake ::

So today was one of the most perfect days ever. Sam, my cousin/best friend, and I made the journey to Lake Calhoun for the day. I could not have asked for a better day to go! You always forget how beautiful a place is until you see it again. Everyone is so alive and laid back out there. I want to live there one day when I am a millionaire :D While waiting for our friend Steve, Sam and I had a little photo session under the shade of The Big Oak Tree ( I have no idea if it was an oak tree but it sounds cool right? ) and here are the results. Its pretty hard to hold my boat of a camera steady so we had to use our awesome teamwork skills to pul it off! I think we did pretty good! Here are some of my favorites from the day. Thanks for a GREAT day Steve and Sam! I love you guys!

Life at "The Cabin"

The RNC is now in Minneapolis and along with them came in article in the Star Tribune. The article stated things that people should know about Minnesotans before they come and stay here. One pointer I found amusing was the one that said everyone in Minnesota refers to their cabin as "the cabin" and anywhere north of the Minneapolis/St.Paul Area is considered "up north"

The funny thing is, its completely true. I always refer to our cabin as "the cabin" and I use the saying "up north" when describing a vacation.
I love going up to our cabin. My family is very important to me and I have unlimited memories up there. From tubing and wakeboarding to Scrabble tournaments and campfire songs. My family is what keeps me going. And the pictures I take remind me of how special all of those memories are to me. I hope everyone experiences the feelings I got when I photographed my sister water skiing for the first time, or the warmness a glorious sunset brings. I love "the cabin" and I love Minnesota Summers. They will forever hold a place in my heart. Here are some highlights from this summer! Enjoy! xoxo
