Minnesota and Back

This weekend we left our boring stressed out little lives in Omaha to the great wide open spaces of Minnesota for a little R & R. Both of Tony's grandparents have lake cabins in MN, one in Detroit Lakes and one on Elbow Lake. Both lakes were beautiful and a lot of fun. Tony and I agree we had a great vacation. We spent most of it at Lake Melissa, which is Tony's moms parents' lake, then Sunday we spent the day at Elbow lake (his dad's parents lake). All of Tony's mom's family was at DL and we did a lot of different stuff.
Tony tried water skiing, the boys tried to learn to swim with Aunt Patti, we swam and fished and just hung out. As tradition Uncle Gene played his guitar and sang, which he is amazing! We tried to have a bonfire to do smores but it was so hot that night and the fire was so smokey, that we put it out not too long after we started it, besides which the mosquitos were bad too. I have put this slide show of pictures on here for everyone to see, there are a lot of pictures, but bare with me they are fun pictures! So enjoy...

Stacey, this must have taken you forever to set this up. It's a great slideshow. I like the one of Tony rowing in the boat by himself, too. Who is doing the music on your blog...the first 2 tunes? The music is really good. Could you send me a list of the songs? I love every single picture in your slide show. You all look very relaxed, and I'm sure it was good to see and connect with everyone this year.
