Dan's parents are here for a visit and the day they arrived, we loaded up all our stuff into their motorhome and went camping for the weekend. The forcast was calling for clouds and chances of rain but they were wrong. We had a gorgeous weekend. We went to the same campground that we camped in a few weeks ago on the shores of Leech Lake.
Leech is the 4th largest lake in Minnesota. The fishing boats were plentiful. We didn't do any this time, fishing that is. The kids were busy playing in the warm water and making things in the sand.

When we got home on Sunday, we unloaded and then reloaded to head out onto the lake for the afternoon and evening. We pulled the kids on the tube just floated around. We had so much fun that we did it again the next evening but took dinner with us so we could stay until the darkness forced us off the lake.
I'm thankful for the freedom that homeschooling allows us. We have been staying up quite late so it's nice that the kids can sleep in to catch up. We've started school but not too intensively. It's just too nice to put the nose to the grindstone yet. We'll have plenty of time to do that as the weather cools.
We have plans to attend a sourkraut festival this weekend (Grandma's idea). I've always thought the stuff was disgusting but if you can get past the smell, the taste isn't too bad! Then, there's "the smells" that come a few hours later... good thing G & G have their motorhome here! Hahaha :) Seriously, we've had a great time with them here!
Yesterday, Levi noticed a little fox run across our yard. We went out onto the front porch and he had stopped at our neighbors pond to get a drink. Shelby grabbed the camera and we snapped a few shots of the cute, little fellow. We know they are quite common everywhere but it's fun to see one up close.
Well, there you have it. A little (or not so little) update.
~ until next time...
