We feel lucky to have gotten the invite to our friends cabin for a real "up North" summer cabin experience. This is what people do here in the summer...escape to their cabins/lake places "up North".The only thing better than having your own 
cabin, is having friends with a cabin that are nice enough to invite you up every so often. Our friends, the Knauffs', families both have cabins in the Detroit Lakes area (near Fargo)... Dom, Suzanne and Addie. Addie and Emma Claire have quickly become best friends. They met in ECFE when only weeks old and have been friends ever since. Fun to see them play together lately. Did they ever have a good time at the lake!

It was coolish up there...70s during the day and 50s at night (I actually love that weather...what is happening to me?). Beautiful days. The girls played in the water, but never actually wore a swimsuit. Mostly only in diapers and birthday suits. Emma Claire got to touch her first real live fish (she poked it in the eye and stuck her finger in its mouth). Addie's grandfather gave the girls wagon and wheelbarrow rides. We grilled out and sat by the fire; played bean bag toss; visited the local establishment "The Hotel"; lounged on the pontoon; slept until 9am (yes, Emma Claire slept in 2 of the days); and just laughed at the girls. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend. Hope to do it again someday. Thank you to the Knauffs and their lovely families.
