Summer at the cabin

 We enjoyed many weekends at the cabin this summer. 

Highlights included:

Boating

Skiing

Mini-golf and snowballs

Pull tabs & Zorbaz - big winners this year!

Sunsets over the water

Getting the anchor stuck in the muck


Although the lake water levels didn't let us enjoy the last few days over Labor Day, we still made plenty of memories with family!

Omaha and Sioux Falls

 Spent a long weekend in Omaha and Sioux Falls - to check off two more states and enjoy the zoo, the botanical gardens, and the falls. We traveled through Sioux Falls to get to Omaha and on the way stopped at the largest candy store in Minnesota. We also ate downtown Sioux Falls before stopping to see the falls. We saw some sights along the way, like a dog riding a motorcycle with goggles on, which looks like a photo by AI but I assure you it was not. We then spent a full day at the Zoo, even riding the sky ride over the animal enclosure. The next day we went to the botanical gardens which had a lot of cool exhibits like a railroad garden and areas for the kids to play in. That afternoon while it was raining we went to a cute bookstore and enjoyed some time there.
