Last Tuesday night we set off for Grand Marais for some Sven and Ole's pizza and a little time by the lake. When we left Caribou Highlands it was in the low 80's, but the temperature in Grand Marais, only 20 minutes away, was fully 25 degrees cooler. During the drive Amelia kept chirping in the back seat.... we were talking about Grand Marais and she kept saying, 'noooooo, Grandma Jo!' It took us a little while to figure out what was going on, but we finally realized Grand Marais sounds an awful lot like 'Grandma Ray.' And of course we all know it is actually Grandma Jo!
After filling our bellies with pizza, we hung out by the lake for awhile, dipping our toes, throwing rocks and trying to keep warm.
Amelia throwing rocks with great gusto....
Ava, Amelia and Adam in their 'club' making silly faces....

John going 30 seconds in the cold, cold lake on a dare from Brian....
On the way back up the hill to Caribou Highlands the suddenly warmer temperatures made our windows fog up and had us all peeling off sweatshirts. Of course, we had picked up some ice cream to keep us cool on the drive!

I love that Amelia thought you were saying "Grandma Ray!" Too cute!
You've done a fabulous job capturing the details of the trip.
Nicely done!
