| Yes, I did put a picture of my scrapbook page on our blog... (This one's for you Liz!) |

| Since we lost the other photos :-( We decided to take a pic in the living room with the new belt |
 |
| Wow! look at all this stuff - will it all fit? |
 |
| Shane will make it fit! |
 |
| And so will Carol! It all did fit - we were just under the 100lb each limit. Pretty crazy choices and re-packing a couple of times. But, we both have a new life skill - which is to be able to get all of the air out of a gallon zip-lok bag that has lots of rolled up clothing in it! |
Ooh I miss that lake! and I like the Tree pose :) miss you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked the lake pics - we were definitely thinking of you:-) We ate some lefse at the second cabin too!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've been under that Lift bridge in Duluth before! Bruce and I went with my dad to see Lake Superior! We also ate a huge caramel apple at Rocky Mountain Candy Co. not far from the shore there in Duluth.
ReplyDeleteI really like the "Carol doing tree pose" pic too. :) And the sunsets look gorgeous.
