Crosslake

We just got back from our annual Crosslake trip earlier this week. It was a little later this year than normal because we had some difficulty finding spots for earlier in July. We left last Thursday morning and arrived in the campground around 1. Once we set up our camper and got our site ready we headed over to start a usual bean bag tournament. Now I don't want to brag or anything, but I have won 1st place in bean bags ever year dating back to 2007 (except for 2009 when I was actually giving birth to Olivia). I got a little cocky this year, but sure enough I won again with my partner, my aunt Nancy. (For reference on day 2 we held another rematch and we won again).

After the match was over we went for ice cream right in town.

The second day we decided to do a little bit of swimming even though there was some reported swimmer's itch. The weather was so hot, in the 90s, that we just couldn't stay out of the water.

Day 3, it rained all morning so we decided to make a trip into Brainerd for most of the day. It cooled down quite a bit in the evening and we were able to actually put pants on and do some fishing, play on the playground, and enjoy a fire where we didn't have to sit 50 feet away.

On Sunday, we basically just hung out in the morning and then headed for home around noon. All and all the kids were pretty well behaved and slept good in the camper each night.
