Minnesota-Part 1

We were able to go to Minnesota again this summer to see Steve's extended family and we had such a good time. We spent a few days at the lake at Debbie's cabin. It was a bit chilly the days we were there so I chose not to get in the water but that didn't stop Steve and the kids from getting in. They had a great time going down the slide and trying out the water ball.

Probably on the warmest day we were in Minnesota Steve, Makenna and I went kayaking on the Brule River with Tim, Deedee, Autumn and her girls and Glen. It was the longest day! The river was so slow with only a few spots with some rapids. We were paddling most of the way! It was long. We got in the river at about 11 am and didn't get done until 5-6. We did stop for a bit for lunch but it was long. It was beautiful along the way but we all agreed that it was too much. So glad I had left Chase and Caleb with Debbie that day. They had much more fun visiting the candy shops and having ice cream.

All the kids care about though is if the hotel has a good pool which ours did. It was great ending each day with them swimming in the pool and hot tub.

It wouldn't be the Jasper's if we didn't get ice cream!
