Okoboji 2017

Another summer at the lake! This was my first time going in June. Honestly I was pretty worried that it was going to be horrible weather. We went so early as my Mom & Dad both had their 45th High School Class Reunions this month so they could go back and forth from the lake house to reunions.

The weather over all was good! It as nice not having to beg GLo to turn the AC on! Many first(s): first family golf trip in Okoboji (Connor did awesome), Connor was finally tall enough to ride "the legend" roller coaster at Arnolds Park. He loved it, did it 6 times that day. Ryan learned to ride his two wheeler. We all knew he could, he was just lacking confidence. The difference between C & R is that Ryan can't figure out how to slow down and STOP. So we have to run along side so that when he wants off we can rescue him. Oh goodness!

I'd say it was our best fishing year to day.

 Cousins are getting so big! Aiden, Connor, Logan, Ryan & Eli

Cynthia's baby bump popped out just in time for Boji

Mom stayed in the boat, I'm not crazy

The house was in tip top shape and the flowers all looked marvelous

The Great Sand Dunes

We went camping this past weekend. It was 3.5 hours south of us in the Great Sand Dunes National Park. It was amazing. Picture middle of the desert meets Colorado. The camp site had pine trees and a stream. Then you would drive 1 mile from the camp site, get out of your car, carry your cooler (and dog) across the river and start hiking mountains that were 100% sand. It was a really cool experience.

Ryan found cactus and a Kangaroo Rat. The rat thing scarred me to death.
We are off to the lake for a few weeks.
