Minnesota Day 7


Thursday was a chilly, rainy day. We ALL enjoyed having a lazy day in the cabin. Friday was jam-packed. The boys were thrilled to go to the laundromat in the morning! There's nothing like putting those coins in the machine and watching the clothes go around, I guess. We left Mom there to have all of the fun while we went to storytime at the library. Miss Kate might just be the best storyteller ever.

It's a HUGE weekend in Ely -- the Blueberry Festival. There's really nothing like it. Tons of craftspeople and vendors. The boys mostly had fun eating corn dogs and fried cheese curds. THEN, we went BACK to the library for a magic show. What a blast. Zachary let the dove sit on his shoulder for a photo!!
Tim arrived at the cabin on Friday night at 11PM after a 15 1/2 hour drive. Today we played around at the lake and just hung out. Mom made a blueberry rhubarb pie. Outstanding! It was windy all day, but tonight when it got calmer, we went out in the canoe. We got a little too close to an adult loon and its 2 babies when suddenly the mate was shooting out of the water not 5 feet from the canoe. It suprized the heck out of us. Now Tim's putting the kids to bed. I'm SO glad he's here!
if you're interested.
