Family Time (part 1)

While we were back in the States, Brett and I parted ways for a couple of weeks so we could each visit our families. Brett's take:

I was lucky enough to get to make my semi-annual pilgrimage up north to the enchanted lake country of Minnesota. I spent quality time with friends in their lake cabin, along with all their sets of kids…a new generation of friends! I then ventured off alone in a canoe to find a perfect northland campsite for listening to the calls of loons.



The Nelson/Myer family trip to Wisconsin Dells was a raisin-toed success. It was great getting to spend time with our new wonderful nephew, Coleman, and his big sister, Kylee. We loaded up into 2 cars and drove to the Midwest’s waterpark capital. We spent many hours in waterslides and lazy rivers, and took a boat tour of the world-famous Dells (beautiful rock formations that had been carved by the Wisconsin River). Kylee and Coleman absolutely loved playing in the pools and slides, which proves that these water-loving munchkins have been Minnesota-born and raised.
