Up North at Grandpa Joel's Cabin(Anna Felkey's Cabin)

One long weekend in July the Knight's visited Anna and Nick at Anna's grandpa's place in Big Fork, MN. Boy did we luck out on the weather this year!! The kids played in the water and so did Ben and Olivia. We got to spend time with Joel, Joan(Anna's Aunt from Iowa) and both Champ and Scout.

Everyone had a blast, it was very relaxing and wonderful to spend quality time with our dear friends the Lovas's. Ben and the Ladies helped weed Joel's garden so all the wonderful veggies could brow big and nutritious.
Don't worry Olivia is out in the water by herself, she is a total natural! Mom was just out of the picture, don't think we are negligent!!

Here is Anna getting her practice in before baby Lovas shows up in end of August!!

Nick wasn't so sure so he joined Ben in using a Noodle for extra floatation. The water was so nice up there, Ben had a hard time getting out, once he determined it was okay for all of us of course:)!!Ben is a great "Reach and Pull" swimmer, Water Tots here he comes!! Ben is pretty good at swimming with his water shoes, hat and sunglasses, what a talented kid.

Joel had lots of tomato plants along the waters edge and Ben had to make sure they got plenty of water each and every day we were there. Scout did as well, he helped some of them end up in the lake as he was chasing balls and jumping over all the rocks on the edge. Champ spent the weekend hunting frogs and other creatures which were very prevalent at the lake. The dogs slept well each and every night. They had their own slumber party in the boat house.
As you can see with Olivia's big smile she had a wonderful time at the cabin and cannot wait to get back up there in the summers ahead!! One more wonderful weekend at the lake with the Felkey/Lovas's. Oh Yah Nick made some fabulous Halibut for dinner one night, what a very generous treat for the two families!!
Till next time.....
