Only 9,999 lakes left to see

In the ‘Land of 10,000 Lakes’ we finally got to visit one and play! One of Lance’s classmates is from Owatonna and her family has a lake house about 25 minutes away. We went out there last Saturday along with almost everyone from Lance’s class. We had a great time and Ansley had a blast!  The weather started out overcast and about 68 degrees, but eventually most of the clouds went away and it warmed up! This was definitely NO Norris Lake, it wasn’t anywhere close in size, but they had a pontoon boat, Jet Ski, and a runabout boat.

Yep, I had a very busy day especially since Lance has a bum leg! Ansley wanted to go up and down the stairs about a thousand times and she wanted in and out of the water a thousand more times! But for the most part she was really good all day! She just isn't a big fan of her life jacket, but I don't blame her. We went for a pontoon ride and she took a lil nap. Lance took her out on the jet ski and she loved it! (Sorry, I don't have many pics from the day, cause it was hard enough chasing her around much less making sure the camera didn't go for a swim, so I stole some pics from Lance's classmates.)

 
This is Ansley bestest friend 'AsJay' as she says (really it's AJ)

The Steele County Free Fair is going on this week. It is about a block from our house. Not only can you hear the fair going on when you step outside our house, but you can SMELL all the fair goodies too!!! The fair is a big deal here, most people take off work this week just so they can go to the fair, kinda crazy! It is Minnesota's largest county fair.... http://www.scff.org/. We went Monday night before the fair actually opens, it starts Tuesday, and checked out the antique tractors. Ansley loved checking out the 'twactoors' like Papa!


I'll write some more about the fair later...
Only 3 days till our visit home! Continue to pray for us, our adventure, and our travel home!
We love and miss you guys!
