Hoyt Lakes Minnesota July 2009

We spent a lovely 4 days in Hoyt Lakes Mn in July with the family...when I say family I really mean family! Almost all of the Ken's mom's family was there with us! There were Grandma and Grandpa Welch, his Mom and Mike, his brother Matt, RuthAnne, and Nephew Christian, his Aunt Sandy, his cousin Carlin, Cory, and their son Cedar and his other cousin Andy, Katie and their 2 kids, Karlee and Camden and our family of 4! There were a ton of us and it was a wonderful time!

We all spent a lot of time outside(obviously!),playing with the kids, fishing, and cooking on the fire! The kids seemed to have a wonderful time playing and interacting with one another, Jake and Karlee are the little story and joke tellers of the group! I don't think a minute went by with the 2 of them together that was quite...not even our meal times! Cam of course tagged along with them where ever they went, glad to be with them but quiet and observant!

Tyler and Cedar were two little peas in a pod, playing on the blanket and enjoying each others company. While Cedar tended to stay put on the blanket, Ty took off exploring everything around him whenever possible!

All in all we had a wonderful weekend and couldn't have wished for it to go any better than it had...I suppose the weather could have been a bit nicer, we had wet fairly rainy weather in the mornings and late evenings, but it was still very nice. We (all the adults) even managed to get a break and swim out to the island across from the campsite one afternoon, it was amazing and felt wonderful!
