Canada day 1

Left Sarah's at 6 am. Crossed the border at 10:30! So excited to be here. Words can't even describe!

We made it to Rosie's in plenty of time. We set up camp and put the boat in the water! We headed our to ghost bay and realized we were taking in water so we headed back. We pulled the boat out to find out that one of the live wells was open. So we fixed the problem and back in the water again!! Didn't catch much.  Ok we catch nothing.  So dad felt it was a bad sign.  We will see.  This is the earliest he has been in here in years.  The ice just left over Mothers day weekend.  I don't care if I catch one fish.  (ok I care) but the fact that I am here after 10 years means more than words can describe.  Every year my sisters go it was a sad time for me.  Now that its my turn to be back, I couldn't be happier.  Life is good.

Best part of my day is just being here. The beauty is amazing and the time with my son and dad are priceless! 

Saturday

Well it was rain rain go away!  Come again another day!  Poor Jimmy (my borther in law) was rained out.  With over 2000 acres he was needing a dry day to get the rest of his crop in...  He didn't get that..  Hoping by the time we come back from Canada it drys up for him.  But it doesn't look good.   So he and dad worked on his boat and all the kids ran and played outside in "wilwerding lake"

Vacation - first few days

Love love being back in MN. Got on the road to Harmony at 12:45 am on Friday morning. Rolled into the farm at 3 something....got a few hours of sleep and headed to Hokah for my friend Anne's wedding.

Just a few shots with me and my BFF's.  It was an amazing time and I am so fortunate that I was able to be home for her special day! 

Saturday I made it home by lunh to find my kids very well entertained on the farm.     They had climbed hay bails, bunny hunted, had a fire and were having a great time! 

Chris and Derrick rolled in in the afternoon. Boys were excited to have cousins to play with. 

Sunday CH and DH ran their marathon relay. They finished 9th I think out of over 100 teams. They came back and we helped dad fiddle with the boat . Oh and we grilled steaks! Yummo! I was hoping to head out for my buddy Lakins 2nd birthday party, but Jacob had a hard day and ended up with a not so good tummy so weisswd it :( . Everyone went to bed early and therefor woke their mama up waaaaay to early. 

Now I think I'm going to head out for a walk. Enjoy the nice MN morning...
