Fishing with the Family

We went on our annual family vacation to Detroit Lakes MN to visit my Grandpa Norma and his wife Myrtle. We started the trip by driving to DeSmet SD again to see the Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead. This time we had my Dad with us and we slept in covered wagons. It was fun to remember from last year what we did and have a little more time to enjoy the Praire.
After a night in the covered wagon we were all ready for a hotel on a lake. We had a blast fishing, swimming, boating and talking. The last night, we left all 7 children with the grandparents and were able to go to a really neat restaurant that we boated over to. The 3 couples are pictured at the Fireside Grill, ironically we all matched our partners in color. All 7 children were alive and well when we returned too, amazing.
