2nd Annual

Woelpern Resort get together. This began a few years back with just Jess and Melissa and last year Chrissy, Kimmy, Kim and Tom joined us. The crew has already 'made reservations' for next year. And yes I made these dorky T-shirts in honor of the 2nd annual. Dorky as they may be it was fun to wear them in town where everyone asked, "Now where is that resort"?

As always we took a day to float in the pond


And yes the pond is deep enough this year to actually swim in.
A few of our 'guests' relaxed on the beach
With their feet up
And one little boy went swimming only to roll in the dirt afterwards
Food, oh we had food. Each twosome made a meal this year. We dined on a grilled whole turkey, hamburgers that came from an organically raised cow....it was awesome and by golly organic does taste better at least in this case, wild rice patties, french toast and omelets in a bag.
Melissa and Tom are getting their omelets ready to go into the boiling water
And wa-lah a delicious meal is made

Kimmy and Chris busy in the kitchen-it was not all rest and relaxation..haha

Well perhaps most of it was R&R
I even snuck a cup of coffee or two or three

We all have been waiting for Tom to ask Melissa to marry him and apparently so have some of his friends as they gave him this rock to give to Melissa. Dear Melissa, I'm betting yours (when you do finally get it) will certainly not be this ....gaudy...haha
Melissa has been trying to talk Tom into getting a lap dog. I think Peeko may have helped him decide that it would not be such a bad idea

Lots of cards. There was shoot, cribbage, right-left-in the middle (Kel and Len we are going to teach you that one this coming week) and golf. Golf was a new one for the crew and they enjoyed it.
Chrissy and I took a morning to pick strawberries. We each got 16 quart bags frozen

So what do you shop for when traveling up north MN...why moccasins of course.

And a t-shirt or sweatshirt or two.
Ummmmm OK Jess whatever you want to think....

A couple of nice fires as well...until the mosquitoes drove us indoors to the card table

It looks as if lots was solved around this fire pit :)

Don't forget the smores they were pretty darned good and perfectly roasted.
It was a blast, thanks to the group for taking the time to come up to the Northwoods. Love you guys.
