You may have wondered where in the hell I have been.
We took a little break from the grind and headed north to be with my family for a week.
It was much needed, and by far the best week I have had in 2013.
We love northern Minnesota. We go there every year, and I am sure my kids will take up the tradition as well.
Beach days, boating, kayaking, campfires, fishing, cold beer at noon, no schedules.
The twins are getting more and more fun to vacation with, too. They are easily entertained by pine cones, minnows, leeches, bugs, etc.
They had really cool dragonfly's up there, that were the size of small birds.
Not many children can grow up stating that their GREAT GRANDPA is healthy enough to play with them and do rigorous physical activity. I am so thankful that my children can.
Even though we all had the anxiety of mom's surgery the following week, we still took advantage of each day and lived it to the fullest.
The good news, is that mom's surgery went very well, and she should be on the road to recovery now.
This little girl is a water baby, just like her mamma!
Great Grandpa has the patience of a saint, and he really knew how to keep the twins entertained.
Charlie didn't even think twice about holding slippery, slimy leeches!
Thank goodness for Camera Timers! We get a GREAT family photo!
Adam had some GREAT fishing luck, too!
Even Glen Shirk relaxed, and that isn't very common!
We made crafts, and played lots of games.
This game is a tradition. It is called Chubby Bunny. You put marshmallows in your mouth. After each Marsh Mallow you have to say "Chubby Bunny" and the person who can get the most in their mouth and still say Chubby Bunny wins. I got 7 and did not win.
Charlie was a HAM all week and kept everyone laughing. He is showing his Spider man Underwear below.
I have a TON of other pictures, and they may come out here and there down the road.
Can you see the big bug on his shirt?
