Summer Fun With My Cousins

Daniel brought his family minus Morgan (we missed her) to stay with us last week. We had big plans for a week of boating, swimming, and being just across the yard from one another. Well, we got beach time in the first day...then fall hit, so we had to wear sweatshirts and find other things to do. On Wednesday, Uncle John wanted to go to Pequot...and it happened to be Bean Hole Days. We didn't taste any beans, but I did get my first sno-cone. When we went to Nisswa for pizza, we realized it was Turtle Race day. We didn't enter, but enjoyed seeing all the turtles. Last we heard, they were calling for entrants in the 400s to line up!

We did get to ride the dime horsey, though. I felt like I was in a parade!
Daniel's turn.
We went to see the ox again, and I got a ride there too.
Gunnar seems to be the only one wanting his picture taken.
We went to the Chocolate Ox for a treat. When someone mentioned ice cream, I expected to hit the DQ, but I'm not complaining!
Daddy went for two scoops, but Gunnar was even braver with three. My one was was hard enough to handle.
Daddy had to go back to work, and everyone else went to the new Harry Potter movie, so Thursday, Daniel & I hung out Mom & Delaney...and my Scooby-Doo Meets Batman DVD. We had a tasty snack of 'Rogurt (I always pick the one with Velma) and strawberries.
I got sick in the middle of the night -- Daddy says too many Chicken in a Biscuit crackers, but Mom blames the blue juice. I had to take it easy Friday, while everyone else went to Crosslake.
And then came the dreaded Saturday morning when they had to head back to the Cities. The cabin is all quiet again. Mom & I don't like that. Maybe someone can come stay there again before the end of summer...
