Lake Ida is al-righta

Gus loved spending the weekend on Lake Ida, near Detroit Lakes, MN. We had a mini Vangsness family reunion on the lake at the cabin of my dad's cousin, Craig, and his family. Seeing Gus have such fun at the lake motivates us to think lake cabin someday in the future.

The pontoon ride put him to sleep.

Even the sand was exciting.

This makeshift water-slide was also a hit.

Ah, swinging always brings a smile to his face.

There were moments when we had to hide under canopies, umbrellas, or hit the house to get out of the rain.

Gus slept in his grandma and grandpa's camper for the first time. Although he slept very good during the night, the waking up part was hard.

Despite his cranky morning face, he must have gotten enough sleep because he was more than willing to be patient and stand still while he got all sunscreened up. Moments later he was sprinting out the door for some more water activities.


Leaving the lake was devastating, but the Little Einsteins DVD + the quick drive (only 45 mins to Fargo), sure helped.

Thanks for a great weekend! It was fun to catch up with family.
