Summer Started!

Over the weekend we had our first trip of the year over to Frontenac. (if Justin has his way we will be making quite a few trips this summer!) We started the weekend with a stop in Red Wing so Bear could jump in the mighty Mississippi. He was quite pleased with himself as he swam up and down the shoreline. You never really know the essence of a happy dog until you see one gleefully jumping in and out of the water like a fish!

Here he is ready for someone- ANYONE- to throw his "toy" so he can chase it

Friday night Justin's dad showed up with his new pontoon that he had purchased up in the cities. We were hoping to get it out on the water but with the crappy weather we didn't get it to.

Saturday we did some work at Justin's grandparents rental home in Frontenac and then headed into Red Wing to do a little shopping. I was a little disappointed because we didn't make it to one of my favorite shops but I suppose this gives me a reason to get back there!! Saturday was Justin's Grandma's birthday so we had a little celebration with everyone, which was nice. Justin brought his handy grill and impressed everyone with the 12 hamburger patties he piled on all at once- quite an accomplishment!!

Sunday we got up and headed back to Mankato. We enjoyed some rest and relaxation after we got home. Now we are gearing up for another busy/ big week. We have toyed with the idea of heading to Ames/State Center for the weekend but I am not 100% sure what the final verdict will be. Anywho, off we go to another crazy week!
