Cousins Camping Weekend in MN

This week Grandpa Mike and Grandma Sally came over to Illinois to spend a few days with us before we all took off for our Annual Cousin's camping weekend. This year we headed up to Aitkin, MN near Lake Mille Lacs (that's way up north). On the way we stopped to see Great Grandma Rasmussen and got a great 4 generation picture. We also got to stop at one of my all time favorite restaraunts that we used to stop at on the way up to Wisconsin when I was a kid...the A & W drive thru at Spring Valley, MN. Grandma Sally let Addie try her first rootbeer and grandpa gave her her french frie to knaw on.We had a wonderful time with all of Kevin's mom's side of the family. Since we were "new" parents, we got to share the cabin for sleeping arrangements. Kevin caught a huge bass, a big walley (neither that he could keep) and lots of crappies and sunnies.

I learned how to play the "golf" card game and Addie got to meet all of the family along with her third cousin MacKenzie who is only three weeks older. They had a ball playing together. It was tough saying good bye to everyone. We took a detour through Rice Lake, Wisconsin to see my Grandma and Grandpa Roux and some other of my relatives.
