This week, the pups are taking a break while I do a bit of travel journaling about our recent trip to Minnesota. You may see this a bit more on the blog in the future. The pups do have a lot to say, and I want to make sure I get every second of their big wonderful lives documented (I can't tell you how I treasure the past posts I have of Bilbo, Dory, Jakey and Arty). But, as I get older, I want a place where I can go back and see all the beautiful things both Ed and I have done where, much to their dismay, the pups haven't been able to join us.
No worries if you can't stick around, but if you do, I promise beautiful views and a glimpse at our week living a "Lake Life".
The pups will return next week.
Back in July, Ed and I headed up north to Minnesota for our "Every other year" reunion with the Christians' side of the family. We were been lucky enough to stay at the same beautiful VRBO we occupied in 2023. The house is humungous and has no problem holding the 19 of us. The best feature? It is located on a beautiful lake in Park Rapids and is the perfect place to enjoy a lovely week of "Minnesota Lake Life".
Let's start off with a couple of Monday Awwws:
We enjoyed a little stroll on a drizzly afternoon and spied this little lady in her rain gear....
Join me throughout this week for more "Lake Life" fun!
We're joining Comedy Plus for the

It's all looking very green and lush. Love the whimsical art.
ReplyDeleteAdorable ... imagine "they" were NOT among the 19 family members however ...
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautifully relaxing and how clever of Biggy to hold up the mailbox!

ReplyDeleteBeth, you and Ed and Sunny and Rosy are a pack, so it's your blog as much as theirs - you are the Living and Loving in the Backyard Furmily!!! So I look forward to the hyoomon content as much as the pupsters!!! This was a sweet intro... YAM xx
That must be a huge place to fit 19 people! Love the Biggie Bear mailbox!
ReplyDeleteBeth and Ed I look forward reading about your reunion each time you go.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely home and how wonderful big enough for all of you.
I 100% agree with you about having the life and time with our angels.
I was always honored to meet Arty and Dory and all our other furry friends in 2016
that was a once in a lifetime experience.
Hugs Cecilia
What a wonderful adventure with your family. Thanks for taking me along. Love that bear waiting for the mail. Made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to the girls and my very best to the both of you. ♥
What a fun place to see such cute decorations. We can't wait to hear more about your trip.
ReplyDeleteWe don't always get our secretary to take us around the blogs but we always enjoy visiting here. We have never been to Minnesota but we hear it is quite lovely. Your photos speak well to that fact.

WOW, that first photo is something and the others are fun too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these wonderful photos
ReplyDeleteLulu: "That looks like a fabulous place to spend some time in the summer! Years ago our Dada and his mom and dad and brother and a bunch of his cousins all stayed at a big house on a lake in the Adirondacks, and it was probably like that!"
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Sí, Dada says there were so many people he ended up sleeping on the enclosed porch with the dog. Which sounds like a pretty good deal for both of them, I must say ..."
What fun! It's nice to be able to meet up with family regularly.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a vacation/reunion location! Gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing more photos from your trip.
