MN Lake Vacation

Leave a comment

June 8th to June 12th we took a family lake trip to Northern Minnesota to Ox Lake.  It was a great week with my parents and my brother.  We had two boats for the whole week.  A little fishing boat and then a canoe.  We also rented a pontoon boat complete with a  tour guide for one day!  We caught a lot of fish this week!

In between fishing we would play games, do our nails, a puzzle, or just visit!

We also explored the lake as a family in the canoe!  No we didn’t tip the canoe.  But there was a lot of stay seated reminders!

Our last meal was of course a fish fry!  Our chefs did an amazing job! The fish was excellent!  Even the kids liked it!

The bonding moments that happen around the camp fire are just precious to me!
