Visit Home: Minnesota

Summer, as can be seen by previous posts, is a great time for our household because CD is off work and we can take a lot of trips: camping, seeing new sights and all our favorite people. We love vacationing with CD's parents, Paige and Dave; we always have tons of fun. So it was a no brainer to head to Minnesota and spend time together: swimming, playing cards, eating and relaxing.

Here Paige and CD enjoy some of Dave's great homebrew:

CD and Dave man the grill:

One of our first days there, we took the canoe to the St Croix and enjoyed some paddling around. We love canoeing and have considered getting a canoe to enjoy near home, although the temperatures in Humboldt are much lower and we might need wetsuits!

Also, on the agenda, was some home repair. Dave is changing out a few of the deck posts that have rotted with moisture. CD and Dave enjoyed a quick trip to the hardware store to get these gigantic drill bits. And so it begins...

Then, CD tried it too:

As an added bonus, a lot of flowers in Paige's garden were in full bloom providing some sweet nectar for the honey bees.
