Connelly Family Vacation to Leech Lake

We headed north to Leech Lake and had a great time. After spending many summer vacations at Leech Lake as a child, it was really fun to return as an adult and to have my own kids and husband along. Most of the Connelly family was able to make the trip, which coincided with my dad's 75th birthday. What a great week of celebrating.

The kids had a blast. Activities and sleep overs (for the older kids) were constant. We stayed at a family friendly resort which was perfect for the kids. We had a beach day, a pool day and a couple of pontoon days. We also watched turtle races, participated in a fishing contest, sat by bon fires and ate one years worth of s'mores in one week. Both of the kids mastered water wings and loved being in the water. We did, too, as it was in the 90s and so humid. 

We were thankful for the week away from house work, and were excited to come home to some progress. The kids did so well in the car making the 7 hour drive really not so bad, thank goodness.

Road trip!
