Follow the signs to Hilltop! |
We spend the rest of the day outside. Our friends Nick and Julie came up with their two little boys. Our Jess came up to spend the day as well. We cleaned out the boat and then took it out on the water for an afternoon of wakesurfing.

I was so proud of Chloe! She's finally become accustomed to having big hunting dogs around (not her favorite) and she played well with them. Or at least she acted as cool about it as she could.
Favorite photo of the summer thus far What a snooty little girl she is |
We closed the day with the first campfire of the season. No marshmallows this time; just friends and a few cocktails.

Most of the crew headed to Turtle Lake casino, a few miles away from the cabin, for some late night gambling. Brian's girlfriend Melissa and I decided to stay back at the cabin and head to bed. One of the many advantages of being the pregnant girl - I just don't care what people think; I need my sleep.
Memorial Day Monday was a crappy weather day. It POURED all morning so we all decided to pack up and head back to the Cities. Once back in town, Andi and I hung around at home for a while (he worked; I organized the nursery) and then we headed out to grab dinner and scout neighborhoods / open houses. As much as I love the cabin, it was nice to be home for a few hours to relax and prepare for the week ahead.
Another wonderful Memorial Day weekend with friends. Summer's off to a great start!
Definitely try Spotted Cow. It's so so good. My husband and I used to make trips to Osceola, WI just to stock up on it.
ReplyDeleteI think you already know this, but I used to work with Andi and Brian at the bar in Duluth. Even though I'm friends with both on FB, sometimes I feel like a creeper by having a glimpse into your cabin weekends but it's really great do see familiar faces looking so happy.

ReplyDeleteI did know that! I love I know more about your life than my husband does ... :)
