That's exactly what we got, a nice relaxing vacation with nothing specifically scheduled and that is just what the doctor ordered! (At least for those not on a three month vacation already :) )
The whole family went to Izaty's this year, everyone: Karen, Marcus and William, my parents, both brothers and us. That hasn't happened since 2004. The weather was perfect. Like, 70s and sunny perfect. We were even lucky enough to get swarmed by a mayfly hatching that prevented us from enjoying the patio of our rental cabin. Luckily, they only stuck around for one day so we were able to get back to day drinking on the patio ASAP : )

We had a great time relaxing, playing golf and tennis, playing with the babies, taking a boat ride and going for a swim at Father Hennepin State Park.

We also organized a surprise birthday party for my mom to ring in a new decade! (It's not my place to give away which decade it is)

| In the mood to celebrate! |

| My mom and her incredibly pink cake! |
We were also lucky enough to enjoy a weekend at Patrick's friend, Jerod's cabin. We took a boat ride (on a pontoon - perfect for a toddler!), played at the park and soaked in beautiful views from the cabin. It was a great weekend even with the infant-scaring, bee sting and walking into the screen door :)

Hope you've been able to do some relaxing yourself this summer, either at home or away!
