From Frazee/Detroit Lakes area, our Minnesota road trip took us south towards Lake Somers, which is right outside of Maple Lake, MN. Andy's parents have a cabin there and it was time to visit with them and spend more time relaxing on the water (at least for me).
Andy immediately started on a project helping his dad rebuild a place to keep his firewood. It looked intense and hot...but turned out great in the end! I was happy to read, dip in the lake, and soak in more sun.
We loved visiting with John and Deb (Andy's parents) and the Kruegers (Martha, Mike, and Riley). The dogs were best of friends and Riley was super entertaining!
While the dogs played fetch ALL DAY...
The girls painted their fingers and toes...
Andy got in some fishing...
And at night, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset and a fire...
We even got to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary while we were there (more on this later)!
Overall, our lake time with each family is precious. There is just something about the lake lifestyle and water that is so tranquil. I guess you could equate it to the serenity and peace we feel when we go up to the mountains. The lakes have a little thing that instantly calms and relaxes a person. I have brought myself back to the moments at the lake many times since we have returned to Denver and I will continue to use those memories as life gets more stressful with the beginning of a new school year approaching and a new baby on the way.
