A Happy Kind of Crazy Busy

Prayers worked for "no rain" or else that was just the scheduled weather for yesterday.  Just like at home it has been a dry season here.  We feel for the locals, but enjoy the mosquito-free Northwoods.

We did a lot.  Take a look:

...we had breakfast at the hotel (cool table & chairs) ...
... set up the King compound ...

... checked that the mattresses have enough air ...
... made sure the playground met our standards  (It did.) ...

... stayed hydrated ...
... checked Potato Lake ...

... headed to Itasca State Park ...

... canoed ...
... paddle boarded ...

... nature walked ...





... visited the headwaters of the Mississippi ...

... and walked across the sucker ...
... ate ice cream & cleaned ourselves up ...
... headed back to Vagabond in our trusty Avalanche & Jeep ...
Was the day over?  Heck no.  It was just mid afternoon..
...so Bob, Rob & Nathan golfed while Crystal, Riley & I hung out at the pool ...
... we girls prepared supper ...
... but Nathan helped with dessert ...
... there was a King scavenger hunt ... Nathan took first prize which was $5.01 ... Riley took second prize which was $5.00 ...
... down to the lake to enjoy the still evening ...
... we built sand castles which Riley Bunyan destroyed with her giant footsteps ...

... we were too tired for story books, but we did have time for lots of visiting at the lodge ...
Then it was time for sweet dreams in our comfortable tents.
