After our Indy Trip in May, you'd think we'd take a bit of a break, but not us! The first weekend of June, Sue and Andy traveled up to some old iron pits near Brainerd, MN; where Sue got completed her open water dives and got certified for scuba...something she's been wanting to do for more than 10 years. The next weekend was dance recital for Katie and Rachel; Sue, Travis, and LeAnne came down to Colorado for a camping trip in 11-Mile Canyon, and then we all drove back up to Minnesota to spend the summer on the lake.

All of the kids really enjoyed the lake this summer, where they went fishing, swimming, tubing, and even tried their hands at water skiing. In late June, we drove up into northern Minnesota to visit a bear sanctuary near Orr, Minnesota.
