Lakes Video Compilation

Here are a few action highlights from our trip.  First, us running into Big Detroit Lake, then riding the old school bumper cars at Kiddie Land on Lake Cormorant, then zip lining at Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria, playing in the water park there, and finally playing on the swing at Auntie Christa and Uncle Scott's house.  That's Brode pushing us, his sister Jasper ducking in the front, Blake (Brian and Melanie's middle son) ducking in front too, and Aubrey (Kristin's daughter), Tommy and me on the swing.  Too much fun!

Big Splash Water Park

Did I mention Arrowwood had a HUGE water park?  It does, and it's super fun!

Water slides...

Water basketball...

And a floating obstacle course.





We were there 3 days in a row. The BEST!

Arrowwood Resort

We took a little family getaway to Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria again this year.  We loved the lawn games...

And the geese loved us.  This goose army kept following us.

The zip line was so much fun!

Even for Mom and Dad.

We roasted s'mores at night, and someone let us use their peanut butter on them.  Genius! 

But all I wanted was a marshmallow as big as my head.

We ate dinner outside...

And Tommy stayed hydrated by drinking from 2 cups at once.

We hung out in the craft room making cool stuff, decorating cookies...

And playing Bingo.

Mom won twice!  Stinker.

We had some luck with some HUGE sunfish while fishing off the dock.

Everyone caught some.

Objects in photo may be smaller than they appear.

We had fun on the pontoon cruise, and a great time playing together, just us, for a few days.

Cruising

One day the weather looked like this... 

But most of the time it looked like this, which meant BOAT TIME!

We both love going fast and giggling into the wind.

We both got to drive, though this year Grandpa wised up and didn't let Tommy near the throttle.

Grandma loves the boat...






Dad loves the boat...

So does Mom...

And so do we!

Kiddie Land

There used to be a little kid park in downtown Detroit Lakes.  It closed, someone bought all the old equipment, and then reopened it in Cormorant Village this summer.  Lucky for us!

The Kiddie Coaster was fun...

And so was the mini ferris wheel.

These bumper cars had no seat belts, went pretty fast, and freaked Mom out.  This made them more fun, so we did it twice.

They also had a cool mini golf course.

But the swings may have been our favorite.

Or the boats.

But maybe not the mini train.
