Broomtree 2009

 

Broomtree, one of the best times we have all year. Every year our home school group goes to Broomtree. There are many things to do with your friends: swimming in either the pool or the hot tub, playing games in the cabins, going for walks, playing volleyball or Frisbee, and just hanging out in general. You have to bring your food but that is OK. Every year we get the Dads to throw us in the pool. ( If we are dry.) Seven o'clock is adult hot tub time, and at eight the group prays the rosary.( Not us, we are not Catholic.) Every year the high schoolers have a tournament against the adults. This year we have had volleyball every Wednesday to improve our skills. There will also be a middle school/junior high/ parents tournament. I can't wait for Broomtree. It starts tomorrow!

Last day

      On the last day of the trip we went into Grand Marais to do some shopping with D. and Mac. . When we were done shopping we went to the World's Best Donuts and they really were the best that I had ever had. Then we went down to the harbor but we did not get to stay long as we where going to diner at some friends' house. On the way there we stopped to take some pictures of the beautiful lupines.They grow all over up there so we were surprised to learn that they are not native to northern Minnesota! The last two pictures were taken at our friends house. The house looks out on Lake Superior. After the tour of the house L., W. and I climbed down the rocks to look for rocks by the edge of the lake. The next day we started on our trip home. No matter how much you love the place that you go to, it is always nice to be home.

Trip/ wedding part 2

 We went to the Lodge for the reception. It started with a delicious meal. Each table had a theme, each theme was one of the couples favorite things. Our table was the Eggo table. The story is that the bride eats one or two Eggo's every morning. At every place on the table there was a candle favor, they were so pretty. After supper we went up stares for the dance. Some family members sang for the newlyweds and the enjoyment of the rest of us. The last two pictures are of one of the groomsmen and his daughter, and of one of the bridesmaids and one of the groomsmen dancing with their daughter.
