Old Friends and New Friends

On July 13th, we packed up the van for a First time family get-away since the restaurant opened! Friday night we stayed with our friend Ron and our old friends/neighbors stopped by. Craig and Brenda along with Rollin and Diane. IT was so nice to visit and see you all.
On Saturday, friends Pat went to school with in Montevideo have a lake cabin on Buchanan by Ottertail and invited us to stay with them. They live in St Cloud, so it has been a while since we have seen them! It was so good to catch up! Here are the kids, Jaci and Julieanna and then Kaitlyn, Matt and Zach. We had a great time. Thanks guys!

Then we headed just a couple miles down the road to Blanch lake. Marlow and Janet are firends that live in Rapid City SD and stay for one week on the lake in MN. They invited to stop by and catch up. Pat worked with this gang at JC Penney's years ago! (sorry, I was still in Junior High!) Marcy (origianlly from Underwood) and Jeff live in Texas, Darcy (originally from Battle Lake) was a roommate of theirs and DeeDee (originally from Elbow Lake) also worked there. It was nice to see them and meet some of them for the first time. Amazing how it all worked out to meet on the same weekend!
We headed back to Fergus Falls and stayed with Ron and headed home early monday morning. Thanks Shawn for holding down the fort!
