Breezy Point Vacation

This was taken in our room. They loved sitting on stools at the counter.

We had a great time on our vacation at Breezy Point. While the weather was a little cool two of the days, we still went for walks and some boat rides. We played in the indoor pool as well. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the pool and the first day, Annika did not want to go to the pool. We said, "Ok guys, let's go to the pool!" and she started screaming, "No!" Well, we all went down there anyway, Annika kicking and screaming all the way. She lounged on my lap in a chair while Alec and Keith tried out the kiddie pool and the big pool. Alec seemed indifferent at first and then started to like it. I kept asking Annika, "Do you want to go in the pool?" Head shake no. Then Alec wanted me to come in the pool with him, so Keith sat with Annika. We splashed around in the kiddie pool for a while and all of a sudden, Annika came running over and wanted to get in too. She just couldn't resist the splashing. Then she liked the pool even more than Alec and liked for us to help her "swim" in the big pool.

There weren't many people at the resort during the week, so we mostly had the pool to ourselves. We did meet a couple of different families at the beach with young kids who also liked to throw rocks in the water (probably Alec's most favorite thing to do in the world). Everyone was from the Cities (Minneapolis/ St. Paul to you non-Minnesotans). It's a popular place for those folks to vacation.

It was nice to get away and relax just by ourselves. I read My Sister's Keeper while we were there and can't wait to see the movie. But now we are back home and a mountain of laundry is waiting for me and Keith is out tackling the overgrown lawn right now.

One more note. Breezy Point is right near Brainerd and we found out last night that Keith's brother Scott got a job as a nurse anesthetist in Brainerd! He graduates in December and starts in January. We are so excited because it is such a beautiful area with so much to do. I hope they realize they will be hosting a lot of family in the summer.

Can't wait for our next vacation!
