Our 4th of July on Smith Lake

We love the Johnston cabin up on Smith Lake in Garrison, Minnesota. The entire family is up there and there is so much fun to be had. This year was especially fun for us because Hannah is at such a fun age where she can participate in so much of what we do. Hannah was spoiled and had a great time...

With the HOT weather, almost everyone was in the lake.

LOVED driving the boat!

Two cousins to play with!

Loved listening to cousin Ryan sing!

Hannah saw tons of fish...or as she calls them, "Shishies."

Spoiled rotten with attention from Uncle Tommy.

Ate SO much junk food...and mama didn't even care!

Honestly, these two were buddies the entire week. Hannah loved the attention.

Riding in the boat was her absolute favorite.

Saw the brothers fighting. Hilarious, until Hannah got worried and had to check on her daddy.

Great time. Great vacation from life. Hooray for another fun year on Smith Lake!

4th of July

We have just returned from a wonderful weekend up at Smith Lake. We stayed for three nights and...well- let's just let the pictures do the talking because I am tired and have nothing to say.

This was the first time to a start of a new tradition...We took the newest generation (Hannah and her cousin Cullen) to Paul Bunyan Land. Justin grew up going here with his cousins and so it was a special day for him to pass this childhood tradition onto his daughter...After you enter, this GIANT Paul Bunyan greets the children by saying their name. He said, "Hello Hannah and Cullen!"...obviously the kids were thrilled:

This place is complete with rides, attractions, a candy store and a petting zoo. Hannah loved it and cannot wait to go back next year...

Well that about sums up our 4th. It was a hot, yet very fun time at Smith Lake. More pictures to come later, but for now- off to bed because we have a busy week getting ready for my brother's wedding next weekend!
