More MN pictures!!

I have got more pictures to share! Sharon let me borrow her camera and download her pictures for everyone.

During the family reunion we would spend some time on the Crow Wing river floating down it. It was a blast. Very peaceful and relaxing.... once you got use to the cold water! Ava floated down it twice. This river was in the back yard of Robby's Great Uncle Bernie. We would get in behind his house and an hour later we would be at his dock on the other end of his property. It was alot of fun and very relaxing!


The tractor with this trailer would pick everyone up. You could throw the inner-tubes into the middle of it and there were benches for you to sit on all around the outside. Someone would jump on the tractor and take us back up to the tents.

At times your bum would drag on the bottom of the river and at other times you would be chest deep.

Ava didn't last very long in her car float. She didn't like the cold water so we would put her on our laps and she would be fine until a part of her would touch water...

Great-Grandma Nelson, Grandma Sharon and Ava just floatin down the river!


We spent alot of time sitting around the camp fire talking as well. It was a lot of fun getting to know everyone and enjoying their company.

On Saturday morning the guys got up and went golfing. They had a great time together.
