Lake Vermillian Vacation 2008

Two weeks ago we took our summer vacation to Lake Vermillian, MN (north of Duluth). This year it was our family, my Mom and Dad, and Christy's family: Ted, Carter, Maddy, Paige, and Kate. We had a WONDERFUL time and very much enjoyed spending time with each other. The weather was pretty good. Gracie got to play in the water almost every day. Fishing wasn't the best, but we had a couple of meals. We also played mini golf one morning, went to the little shop down the road a few times, went to a neighboring resort for burger night, played some Texas Hold'em and other cards after the kids went to bed, and of course to the ice cream shop I think 3 times for an after supper treat!

Gracie is introduced to a fish for the first time.

My Mom... who doesn't especially care to fish catches a fairly good sized Northern in a Sunny hole using a worm and bobber! Good Job Grandma!

Below are pictures of Gracie playing in the sand and water. She absolutely loved the sand. She just kept picking it up and throwing it back down... and then had no fear of the water... just walked right in.

Best Friends... Gracie and Cousin Paige


The week always goes so fast... can't wait until next summer for more vacation fun!
