MY FAMILY HAS A CABIN IN MINNESOTA. ITS BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR 3 GENERATIONS. WE ARE SO LUCKY AND SPOILED!!!!! THE HOUSE IS ON A LAKE WITH GREAT SAND AND WARM WATER. MOST OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES ARE HERE. IT IS A VERY MAGICAL PLACE AND I AM SO GLAD WE ALL GOT TO GO. AS A CHILD I WENT ALMOST EVERY SUMMER.WELL SINCE ADULTHOOD KICKED IN WE HAVE BEEN TO BROKE TO GO SO THIS WAS BLAKES FIRST TRIP UP. WE HAD 10 FULL DAYS OF RELAXATION AND A BOAT LOAD OF FUN!!!!! OR LIKE TALIA CALLED IT "BOAP" INSTEAD OF BOAT.
CRUISING THE LAKE ON THE "RIFF RAFT" OUR PARTY BOAT
VIEW OF THE HOUSE FROM THE BOAT
THE FIRST DAY TALIA FACE PLANTED IT INTO THE WATER. SHE WAS THEN TERRIFIED TO GET IN THE WATER (FINE BY ME) AFTER OUR TRIP TO OCEAN SIDE IN MARCH SHE MADE ME NERVOUS ABOUT HOW BRAVE SHE WAS WITH WATER. BUT THIS TRIP SHE HAD NO PROBLEM JUST HANGIN ON THE BEACH.
MOM AND WARREN
UNCLE SAM JAMMIN.... HE IS ONE OF THE MAIN ATTRACTION IN BATTLE.
ONE TRADITION IN BATTLE IS THE BIG TURTLE RACE!!!! HERE TALIA IS CHOOSING HER OLYMPIC SPRINTER
FOR THE RACE THERE ARE TWO CIRCLES THE GOAL IS TO GET YOUR TURTLE TO CROSS THE SECOND CIRCLE FIRST... TALIAS TURTLE WAS FAST BUT LACKED SENSE OF DIRECTION. INSTEAD OF GOING TOWARDS THE SECOND CIRCLE HE WALKED AROUND THE FIRST CIRCLE. COME ON BUDDY!!!
THE GIRLS
JESS ME AND MOM
TALIA HAD A FREAKING FABULOUS TIME!!! SHE WAS HAPPY AS PIE AND NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO GET BORED. CANT WAIT FOR HER TO BUILD MEMORIES LIKE I HAVE.
