Happy Birthday Chris!

Chris celebrated his birthday today! Happy Birthday! Caleb made sure to give him the appropriate number of "spankings". We enjoyed a sunny day and an enjoyable Prime Rib dinner at the White Birch Lodge in Sioux Narrows.
We went fishing for Northern Pike after lunch. I think the sun spooked the fish and they had no interest!
During the guys' afternoon swim, the 3 younger dogs were contained on the cabin porch. They were not happy and this ginormous hole in the screen is proof of "The Great Dog Escape!" Duke, the fishing Golden Retriver, made a sprint for the lake. There would be no lake swimming without him! So there was some screen repairing for Chris on his birthday... Grandma and Grampa were in town, which is another reason Duke was not a Happy Camper.

This morning we checked out another RV park in town and it will most likely be our "spot" for next year. It is called Laughing Water Trailer Park. Tomorrow is our final day on Lake of the Woods for the summer. We will visit with some friends and enjoy the raspberries that we picked this evening after dinner.

We will head for the border on Monday, stopping in the Grand Forks area of North Dakota for some shopping and service. For all of you that need to know, there IS a Cabela's there (and a Super Target) :-) There is a state park in East Grand Forks, MN that we plan to stay at. I will include pictures and a review...as there aren't any yet on RV Park Reviews. For many of our RV friends in our hometown, a great site to check out is the RV Dreams website and journal. I chat almost nightly with a wonderful group of RV'ers through this website. There is a wealth of Fulltiming information. We would like to fulltime in our 5'er one day and Caleb wants to "trailer school". So with some planning and a bit of time, one day our wanderings may be more full-timings!
