the weekend and a VRBO getaway:

Fun with photo editing 




Friday night we had dinner with our next door neighbors.  We ate dinner in our back yard, then went to their back yard for dessert.  Progressive MN dinner.  :)

Layla reeeeally enjoyed their hammock.  



 Sunday afternoon we headed back to Zimmerman, MN, just 45 minutes north west of where we live for a little family vacation.  We rented the same VRBO lake home we used a few years back, and it's just as great this time around.  In fact, it's even better now because they have standing paddle boards and a big floating lily pad mat for water fun.  The older 2 have highly enjoyed the standing paddle boards so far, and Cora and Kellan love the lily pad tied CLOSE TO SHORE...haha.
This was our first 10 minutes here.  While it's not a great photo, I include it to show my favorite thing about this place.  I can be sitting in the shade, at the table, on the deck...and the kids are THAT CLOSE, swimming.  The deck goes to the sand, then to the lake.  It's so wonderful for parents.  Supervision - piece of cake.  










The loft area has two single beds and a queen.  


Renee and her kids came to hang out with us the first night there.  SO fun.  











Finn, 2 minutes after we got there...floating with chips in hand.  YES.
