Summer Visitors

This summer, Ryan and Missy were finally able to make the long trek to Minnesota.  It was so great to spend time with them and show them what great weather Minnesota has to offer.  We were lucky this year, as last year it was rather cool.  They timed it well, because the weather couldn’t have been better.  Not too hot, but not cool either.  We were able to go out on the lake and show them around. Casey’s company happened to be hosting Movie on Minnetonka, which was a lot of fun.  Everyone tied up at Big Island and just hung out.  It was great to be able to show Ryan and Missy how people “boat” in Minnesota.  It was a great time, except for the one couple who didn’t know how to drive their 47 foot boat and almost ran into us!

We also took them up to Banning State Park, one of our favorite hikes!  Casey was nice enough to drive the whole time while we slept for a portion of the trip. Although the leaves weren’t the beautiful fall colors this time, it was still gorgeous.  The river was low enough that we were actually able to wade out in the middle of it and just enjoy nature.  We also hiked to some waterfalls, where Ryan so happened to slice his foot on a wine bottle!  Rather disappointing that someone would litter.  Casey and I are planning on taking another trip up there this fall and spring, but until then here are some of my favorites!
