The final installment of our two week adventure. But before we get to Minnesota, we went to stop at see Kat at Luther Park Bible Camp. Pictured below is the Cardwell family.

OK, on to Minnesota. I don't have very many pictures from the cabin. Kevin and Amber (our resident photograph taker) came up and I was content knowing that I would eventually get some photos from our time at the cabin from her. My mom, Anna and I did take a trip up the north shore in the middle of the week. The photo below is Lake Superior as viewed from a friend's house that we visited. I grew up going to this place a lot, so it was nice to see to visit on a beautiful day.
One of the last events in Minnesota before we came home was a family reunion on my dad's side. I didn't spend much time socializing with the adults as my parents and I amused a bulk of the children. The first event was the pop bottle launch. Starting with empty two liter bottles, the kids added wings, nose cones, and decorated them. Then we put them on a launcher, compressed air in the bottles, and sent them flying across the baseball field. Pictured below is myself and my dad (the resident "Rocket Scientist") helping design some rockets.
That kept them busy for a couple of hours. Then it was time for the pinata my mom made. She wanted the pinata to withstand a few of the kids so everyone would get a swing. She did so well that the pinata was knocked off the rope without breaking. Below is my dad and I fixing it with the Handyman's handyman: duct tape.
Nick (my sister Beth's boyfriend from Boston) and Haily (my brother Jay's stepdaughter) trade in ping pong balls that fell out of the pinata for prizes.
The final game was the ever popular water balloon toss. Here is Nick sizing up the distance before he tosses the balloon.
Beth is ready to catch a balloon. Look at the aquatically correct stance; she must have played this game before.

Thus ends the adventures. RD Training started yesterday. That business, coupled with a wedding to attend every weekend in August, may lead to some more gaps in time between posts. But if you miss hearing for us, Anna is bored at home with nothing to do until school starts for her, so you can certainly give us a call.
