Our friends had been there many times and raved about it, so we thought we'd see for ourselves what a beautiful place it is.
The Fall weather had broken just the day before we left, but all things considered, we still had flowers, decent temps, and beautiful Fall leaves.
This, along with the fair, made us feel true Minnesotan -- going up north to a cabin! Notice the view out our window! This picture doesn't even do it justice! It was stunning!
The lighting and scenery was just too perfect to not snap lots of pictures!
Matching braids!
We love being with Grandma!
The lake was gorgeous too. We can't wait to go back in the summer, so we can enjoy the lake amenities too.
Crazy kiddos doing the "fashion pose"!
Kyler loves the 'ninja stance.'
We took a lot of walks, played a lot of games, watched movies, enjoyed the resort amenities like swimming, S'mores, and games. It was a great chance to just be together and relax!
The coldest day there, we took a boat ride, and the guide let all the kids take a turn driving. Kyler thought this was pretty cool!
I snapped this: my favorite picture of all time! Teyah had enough of the cold wind on the boat. She complained of her eyes being cold from the wind, so I loaned her my glasses. It was all just a bit of a sensory overload for her -- cold wind, layers that included a life vest, noise from the boat, and the rocking of the boat was a lot for her to handle. But, she hung in there! Their faces in this picture say it all!
The resort had a fun Fall festival that included a pie eating contest! The girls, Dave, Grandma and I all participated. Of course, the winner of it all -- my cute husband with the huge mouth! Haha! He even won a gift card! The kids enjoyed the pumpkin carving, bag decorating, and hot cocoa and treats! This was a perfect weekend in a perfect place! We made great memories and had a much-needed recharge!
