Leaving Minnesota - On the Road Again!

Our water dog Kiska is also sad to leave Minnesota!

Minnesota!  By: Ilsa

Doing our usual trip to Minnesota this year was not the same as it was years before. For one, it's June! Usually our trip is in August which is WAY warmer.
 Spending time in Minnesota was so much fun even with the colder weather! There are always fun activities to do and having Kiska there with me just put the icing on the cake. Some of the activities that I did on the lake were tubing, water skiing, fishing, paddle boating, swimming, and many more! It is sad to leave the lake and my grandparents but I am excited for the planned adventures ahead! Also, my whole family was at the lake with me which puts the sprinkles on the cake after the icing! My three uncles and aunts were there including my cousins. Make sure to keep following my blog and we also enjoy comments! See you again in South Dakota!

Remember how I always write about how it’s so hard to leave a place that we’ve visited for a while with our Scamp? Well, leaving Minnesota to start our road trip was probably the hardest of all the other places that we went to. The reason this is is because Minnesota is where most of the families on my mom’s side come to my grandparents' lake. This is also a time to meet my cousins Reece and Keegan! Every summer Reece, Keegan, and I go tubing, swimming, and other activities in the water and in my grandparents' yard. This year was a lot more different though because we came a lot earlier than we usually do when we come in August. One, it was colder so that meant less sun, a colder lake, and more wind than usual. Two, we had Kiska accompanying us on our trip to Minnesota. And lastly, we still have our Scamp here from our last trip! This made our 9 day visit to Minnesota less and more fun at the same time! It was fun to visit our family in Minnesota but now, it is time to go on our real road trip and like I said before, it's not a road trip if we're not on the road!
