Rainy Lake

Last weekend we went up to Eric's family cabin on Rainy Lake. It was Eric's 10 year high school reunion so we got to see and catch up with some of his close friends from HS. Eric's uncle, aunt and cousin have a cabin right next door so we also got to spend some time with them and Eric's sister who is living in International Falls.

On one of our days we went to Voyageurs National Park to look around and go for a hike. Unfortunately, there is only one trail on the main land and it is maybe a little more than a mile long. :) There are other parts of the park where we could hike for a lot longer but you have to take a boat to get to them. Maybe some day we will make the trek for a weekend and camp in the park.

Eric's uncle was nice enough to take Eric water skiing while we were there. I dont water ski but Eric is pretty good. Everyone else took a couple tries at skiing or wake boarding. Maybe one day I will give it a go.

We decided to take the cats with us to the cabin to see how they did. We thought if they did OK we could bring them with us every time. They did OK in the car. I think Rainy may have had a panic attack at first but she calmed down after a half hour. Once we got to the cabin though, she hid under the couch & bed for the first day. She seemed to get more comfortable as the days went on. We arent sure  if we will take them again but it was nice having them there!

We enjoyed a great weekend on the Lake and are excited to spend more time there now we are back in MN!
