Once Scott was done with work and the kids were home from school we headed to the cottage for Memorial Day Weekend.
Two quick shoots and we were on our way. Along the way stopped by Lake Country Pizza for the first time in probably a decade or more in Turtle Lake.
You know the kids got the spaghetti and meatball pizza.
We hadn't seen little Viola since Thanksgiving. She's grown up so much and already almost walking.
She loves walking to her brother Nolan.
Today was also Blake's 33rd birthday. We missed his birthday dinner, but not the birthday balloons.
Good to see that the Lake is still there.
Memorial Day weekend means rummage sales.
The Wisconsites at one house clearly didn't like their Minnesota gift.
Theo got a ball cap just like papa's.
Jumping jack break.
We almost got a bike for Theo at the Man Cave.
It was nabbed while I looked in the shed.
The fun thing about rummage sales is going down streets I've never been to before.
Then we checked out the St Theresa's thrift shop.
Should have bought this for our kitchen.
Why can't they be just a bit more adventurous? Meadow's been getting so picky. That's not how this is supposed to work.
It's been fun to have another baby in the family again.
Blake led one of his famed scavenger hunts around the cottage woods.
I gave mom her belated Mother's Day gift. A strawberry hummingbird feeder from the glass shop in Duluth.
Maybe in a few years she'll put it up.
Chelsea picked up a ball ice cream maker. The kids had fun kicking it around.
Blake and his scavenger hunts for the kids, there's always more than one.
Dan has become the top chef in the family over the past few years. For the Gostisha's meal he made homemade birria tacos.
Time for my annual car clean out. I haven't deep cleaned this car yet.
All the typical fun was had.
Harvey got a muskie, which Dan and I have never been so lucky to catch.
Good to be back out fishing on the most beautiful chain of lakes in the world.
Meanwhile Meadow and I went rollerblading. We didn't make it far as the road isn't as smooth as I thought.
Meadow was in need of a haircut. Chelsea to the rescue. Though somehow she convinced her not to trim her bangs...
I made bibimbap for dinner. My new go-to recipe.
This worked out well for a crowd. Everyone could add their own toppings.
My dad added some new lanterns to our family sign. We had to check it out.
We took a pic, but a few folks were missing.
I thought Viola would be in her stranger danger era, but she didn't mind being passed around.
It was time to put away everything for the weekend, but first they went a really long boat ride.
The kids talked us into getting ice cream. All of us actually had on shoes this time.
With our bigger car we don't use the roof box as much. We had more stickers that we needed to add.
We have to document each side to see which stickers end up getting lost to the highway.
Until next time, Three Lakes.
