Memorial Weekend Pictures
Pictures from our annual Memorial weekend fishing/fun trip!
First — some local wildlife:
A pair of loons were nesting near the resort.
The mallards paid us a visit as well.
A baby turtle crawled along the beach.
The wildlife that provided our excuse for being here in the first place — the fish!
…or perhaps it would be more accurate to call them “dinner”?
People pictures:
It was just nice enough, for at least part of the weekend, for the kids to enjoy the beach.
Some even braved the chilly water!
Kyle and Lindsey soaked up some sun.
Grant tried fishing from the dock — without much success. I don’t think he minded
Mark played with Isaac on the slide.
Nathan is concentrating hard during an intense game of wiffle ball!
Mark is playing “outfield”.
Isaac prefers catching fish to cleaning them — he wasn’t too thrilled about having his picture taken in the fish cleaning shack!
He was much happier about posing for THIS picture!
This is Lissy — she was celebrating her 6th birthday. Isaac was so happy in the previous picture because of her birthday cake!
My honey.
Some not-so-local “wildlife”

All the excitement just plumb wore him out.

Only three more days of school, yay!!! This week my parents are visiting again — Dad is getting his hearing aids that were ordered during thier last visit. Next week we will be off on a postponed spring break trip to Florida (because we didn’t get a spring break in the school calendar this year). We might bring the laptop along, so there is a possibility I could post some pictures, but if not, I’ll see you all when I get home again.

Your family is ridiculously beautiful. Loved the wild life shots too. My mother-in-law just interviewed with a church in Northern MN… these just made me hope extra that she gets the job!

Well, this has already been said, but those ARE awesome pictures. I had to pick out some family pictures for a scrapbooking project my sister is working on, and I was dismayed to learn that of the 500+ digital images on my computer, only a handful were any good. Not even my pictures of ducks were any good. I should really learn to take better pictures.
Five boys, eh? You are one lucky lady!
looks like you guys had a fantastic time! What a goodlooking family you have.
You have a beautiful family! I am so glad you shared with us.
