July 4th Weekend with Lou & Pat

Our weekend with Lou and Pat was one of the best! The weather was so nice and we truly enjoyed the outdoors and our time together. Here's one of the highlights - a trip around the lake in a pontoon. Our neighbors, Doug and Sandra invited all of us to this special treat.
We walked around Itasca State Park too. Here you see Lou and Pat at the headwaters of the Mississippi. We also took the hike to the Old Timer's Cabin along the bog - can't say that was one of Pat's highlights (she was sure there were snakes) but we did see the Pink Ladyslipper in bloom. Vic posted those pictures on his blog.

Vic and Lou had an adventure in the kayak. That story will be for another time.
Lou had a little snooze on the lawn chair, but for the most part there weren't a lot of naps....we were just too busy for that. Thanks Lou and Pat for coming - we enjoyed your visit very much.

A Summer Evening Drive

A couple nights ago our neighbor (Sandra) came knocking on our door and asked if we'd like to go out for a ride in "The Chevy"...
