4th of July & Vacation 2010

On the 4th of July we headed out on a mini-vacation. We headed to Becker's Resort on Lake Benton, MN with my family. The really nice thing about this trip was that we didn't have to drive far. It was only just shy of a three hour drive.

The cabins...

The view from our cabin of Lake Benton...

Momma and her girls...

Grandpa Art, Ella and Gracie, and daddy...

My mom and the girls...

Little Iree Elisabeth...

Daddy and grandpa fishing with the girls off one of the docks...


Gracie and half of a worm (I don't think she realized it was half of a worm, or this picture may not exist)...

Mark and I took the girls out on the paddle boats, I was wearing flip flops, and my butt hurt when we got done...

Checking out the fireworks from grandma's lap...

YAY for fireworks!


Gracie posing by a log she thought was cool...

Swinging at the playground...

Mommy and Gracie riding on grandpa's boat...


My husband doesn't like to wear sunscreen. So this is what he came up with. It's like sunscreen, Bear Grylls style...

Me and my Bear Grylls...


Gracie hanging over the side of the boat to stick her hands in the water...

And driving the boat (or at least pretending to)...

Story time with great grandma...

Irelynn hanging out at the campfire under the safety of her mosquito net (which she liked to grab and chew on)...

By the fire roasting marshmallows and using up the last of the sparklers...


Big girl holding her own bottle...
