Summer Vacation Plans

It was pointed out to me that it has been way too long since I had posted a blog. Thank you to any one who checks my blog out, and,,, sorry I've been so bad at posting so infrequently.

Can you believe that there is only a little over a week left of school for the kids. This one snuck up on me. But I'm excited. I sent in the deposit to the resort we will be staying at for the family vacation. I've also talked my good friend Jeff and his two youngest in to going with us. We've rented a cabin at Big Stone Lake on the South Dakota/Minnesota border. The Rustling Elms Resort. I found it on the Internet and the pictures are awesome. Have no first hand experience with this resort, wish us luck. Sounds and looks good on the Internet,,,, so we'll give it a try.

The wife and her family have been going up to Bemdji Minnesota since she was just a little bit about the age of our daughter. But,,, with small kids that is such a long hall from Omaha, we decided to try something closer. Big Stone Lake is about half as far. We decided to give it a try this year, and we can always go to Bemdji next year again.

My thoughts on this vacation thing can be summed up with my favorite saying back when I worked out side the home,,,,,"A bad day on the lake fishing is still better than a good day at work".

Good luck to you all as you plan your summer vacation. Hope it's exactly what you need, exciting or relaxing, But best of all for me,,,,, spent with my family and friends.
Until next time,,,,
