Lake City, Mn- part II

More photos from our time in Lake City, Mn.

We spent lots of time at the lake beach.

We played sand volleyball each day.

Bluejay played a lot of "bags". And just like Scotland, there is rumored to be a lake monster called Pepie.

Remember the staff kids I told you about in the last post? How adorable are these little girls?!?! And how cute is it that they are all around the same age and are best friends! Love it!

Little Callie. Remember her from this post? She's getting so big, so fast!



This is Evelyn. She has the biggest most adorable blue eyes! I got so many hugs and snuggles from her his week. Gotta love that!



This is Annie. She has so much energy and is always moving or laughing. She cracks me up every time she runs because like Phoebe runs in this episode of FRIENDS. So funny!


This is Maddox. She is so sweet. She spend most of the week asking what everyone's name is and did a surprisingly great job and remembering! She also has amazingly "wise eyes" for being only two years old! She'll be such a great big sister come November!

I found this fabulous rusty bike when walking around the town! I so wanted to take it home and give it some tender love and care! You know me and vintage bikes/cars!

One night be went on a paddle boat cruise at sunset. It was fun to be out on the lake and play cards on the deck of the boat.

Our CO Minneapolis team. 

Jack and Steve wanted a photo... They make me laugh! Especially the next one.


The Stromwalls: our buddies and "roomies" for the week.

Emilie and Lydia.

Bluejay was cold and didn't bring a sweatshirt to Lake City, so I let him borrow my big comfy one, haha. He's so cute in pink. Plus it's his favorite color! I love the sunset in the sunglasses!

Austin used binoculars to watch the sunset.




Gotta love a full moon rising over a lake!

Lake City, Mn

Bluejay and I are spending a few days just south of the Cities in a little town called Lake City, Mn. Apparently, the sport of waterskiing was invented here in 1922. Last week, we spent all day in some intense really helpful training sessions with the other staff of the Campus Outreach. It was amazing to finally feel like we are part of the staff team and to learn how to form intentional relationships with college students so that we would "build up laborers on the college campus for the lost world." Now we are spending a couple days in Lake City with the other staff to relax and enjoy fellowship with each other. It has been such a blessing to spend time with other women, who have been married about the same time and me and Bluejay, and we get to chat and laugh and play. It's been fun to watch the families interact and get mini baby fix with hugs from the many little girl babies on the staff team. We have just been feeling so rested and refreshed before the craziness of school beginning in the fall. I'm sure I'll post more pictures soon, but in the meantime, here are some photos from the lovely relaxing lake.

Flowers

When we returned home, we were greeted by a garden full of lovely summer beauties! I just LOVE daisies, so to see them all over the hill in the back made me smile! Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?
