I had forgot that the day after the pot luck at Doris's cousin Ann (Maxine Daughter) took us on a pontoon ride. We saw a Mother loon with a baby and turtles sunning on logs. VEry nice and relaxing. Mom took a quick cat nap n the ride.

Mom spent almost a week at Annie's in International Falls. We left on 24 and returned on the 30th.  I will post photos later.  Here is a list of things we did while up north. We arrived late afternoon, had supper made by Jim then enjoyed the deck and nature. We saw a doe go through the yard and hummingbirds at the feeders on the deck.  Monday we packed the van for an over night trip to Doris in Bemidji.  Before everyone arrived Doris and Mom sang a song about Cecelia.  Family arrived for a pot luck supper. Maxine, Lee, cousins Mary and Ann and Trey, Con and Angie, Alan and family, Ann Vleck.  If i've forgotten someone forgive me. We headed back to the Falls on Tuesday.  We had a rest when we got back to Annie's. Wednesday we spent a few hours in town, a hair cut for Mom and out to lunch at a pizza place.  Thursday we went to the visitor center at Voyageurs National park. We took a short walk tour. Friday we went to another visitors center and had lunch on the Ash River.  A bbq rib dinner cooked by Jim rounded out Friday. Saturday after a shower and breakfast time to pack up and head home.  A fun trip and thanks to Annie and Jim for having us.  Looking forward to another trip up there soon. Pictures will come later. Mom, Karen, Denise, Hannah, Annie and Jim.
