Mille Lacs State Park

Look at me, I'm Super Standin' Girl!

Matti climbed ALL THE WAY to the top of the fire tower! Then she made Daddy nervous by scurrying around to get back over to the stairs.

Thanks to the power of Zoom, we got this great picture of a loon without getting close enough to violate any laws.

I love me some hangin' at the lake!

Ahhh, they're so beautiful and peaceful when asleep and not screaming...

Daddy's Favorite Girls on the Cuyuna Trail. Sorry Ella, hindsight being 20/20 Daddy should have unbuttoned that strap first.
