Big Pine Lake


What a gorgeous weekend to spend at Big Pine Lake with good friends!

This fall has been unseasonably warm which has allowed us to enjoy more of the outdoors this year.  We were honored to be invited to our good friends' new lake house where we enjoyed boating, floating, 4 wheeling, wining, dining and bonfire-ing.  It was fabulous!  I highly recommend a fall get-away in MN.  You can instantly feel your stress melt away.

Here are some captured moments.....

Bittersweet October.  The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

THANK YOU, Brad and Laurie - We had a BLAST!

(And...one last pic...while we were away, Kramer enjoyed his doggie hotel.  He spends overnights at The Paw, as well.  The other day, his "teachers" captured this moment on camera.)

Apparently the swimming pools have been put away for the season, so.....this will have to do? 

Sigh....

Kramer's picture is cracking me up! He is SO cute trying to squeeze his big fluffy body in there! I have never met him, but I can tell he has personality :)
