What a wonderful weekend we've had with the Schmitz Nieces and Jim and Boys. Met at Linda's on Friday night for dinner and Jeannie and her family joined us. Tonight we met Dianne, Ann and Rick at Baxter and enjoyed dinner together. I have the best nieces in the whole world.

"Old" Friends

We had a great evening last night with Baxter Friends. Stayed up until midnight. That is late for us old people.

Tired Fisherman

They were tired but headed out that night anyway.

Eating the catch of the day. Tyson caught his first Walleye and Kaidan caught a Perch. Daddy cooked them for Sunday breakfast. Zach went on a Saturday night date with his Grandma to Brainerd and Baxter. Had a Dairy Queen and cruised the streets!!!!

The last 5 days were spent with Jim and Sons on Mille Lacs Lake in MN. Paul Schaible, a family friend, was kind enough to bring his new fishing boat. Ron, Jim and the boys went fishing all day and most of the night on Saturday. It was a great weekend complete with a visit from Ivan, Irene and Gert Roggenkamp. Karin Hines is at the campground and that made it really nice to have a friend near. Today we moved to Sullivan's Campground on North Long Lake in Brainerd. We have already seen Joe and LeAnn Loney and plan to spend a lot of time with old friends.

Classmates

It was amazing to me to see Bonnie and Murt and realize that none of us has aged one bit. Here we are all still looking like we did in 1964 with a couple of adjustments of course. Oh, the guy is Murt's Husband, Jim. My husband was behind the camera.

Minnesota with Son Jim and Boys

We are at Baker Park in Maple Plain, Mn. Yesterday was spent on a beautiful Mn Lake with Jim and his sons. Kaidan and Tyson helped Dad build a Sand Castle and spent some time on their boards. It was a Chamber of Conmmerce Day in MN. Temperatures have been perfect.

More Fun in Rockton Illinois

Sorry I repeated one picture, but my computer is slow on this connection and I didn't want to wait to go back and delete it. In the second and third picture the kids are watching TV. They loved buckling the seat belts and pretending they were going into space. Papa Z and Grandma Z learned it was a great way to babysit Grandkids!! We always knew where they were!!!

Fun with the Zaphel Families.

We had a great time with Matthew and Megan. Enjoyed our time with Ron's Daughter, Michelle, Son Mike and his Wife Kim in Rockton Illinois. Papa Z is eating popcorn.
