Weekend at Bakke's Cabin

We spent this past weekend at our good friends, the Bakke's, Cabin. We did a little bit of everything and had a fabulous time. The weather was great all weekend!

Here is everyone ready to enjoy a meal. Jan and Jeani put together a killer menu for the weekend!

The boys did some tubing. Here Lukas and Dylan were watching Landon and Cayden ride.

Our great host and hostess.

The boys out for a sunset cruise.

SUP (Stand Up Paddelboarding)

I took Jan on a surprise date last week. We took a trip down the Mississippi on stand up paddleboards. All summer we have seen some lifeguards for the triathlons on these boards and we thought it would be fun to try it out. Through Groupon I found a place called Stand Up MN that gives tours down the river - even better! We took a trip with Austin as our guide and had a great time! The are very easy to ride and it was a unique way to see the river and downtown MPLS.

Ready to try it out.

We got the hang of it in no time and we got to go under a train moving across a bridge, between a bridge that is still under construction, and right towards downtown.

We stopped on an island that has some Blue Herons nesting and had a quick snack and a ride on the rope swing.

It was a great date!
