Kirk and I took Ashleigh on an outing with us to Medicine Lake where we rented a canoe and paddle around the lake a little bit. We had lots of fun together and even got wet..hmmm. It's always great to have opportunities to have individual times with the grandchildren. Just as I thought and do think it important with our own children, I still think it is a valuable thing to do with the grandchildren.
One of our new favorite things about Minnesota is to go to Lake Harriett where there is this bandshell and concerts are performed every night for the summer. We here in Minnesota have to make the most of the sunny, coat free days! We are loving going with a few our several thousand friends, setting up our chairs, and just relaxing at this most beautiful spot. Through the back windows of the bandshell you can see sailboats floating by. Incredible to me that such a frozen land can utterly transform for several months a year. We are determined to enjoy it!
