The Edge

Every year between Christmas and New Year's Evan, Kyle, Dad, Uncle Rich, and Shane go fishing in Lake of the Woods.  Mom and I take Ryan and Carter to a waterpark in Duluth to spend a few days relaxing and enjoying the "warmth" inside!  This year, however, the waterpark's HVAC system was having problems and it was freezing inside - I was layered and was still freezing.  I attempted to swim with the boys for a little while, but it was almost unbearably cold.  The boys toughed it out for two days, but we did check out a day early - we were all coughing from an over-chlorinated pool.  As much as the kids love the Edge, I think we'll be looking for a new waterpark for next year...

This year my Aunt Bev, cousin Kim, and her daughter Olivia, also stayed at the Edge the same time we were there.  The boys loved playing with Olivia!!

Carter was so excited to finally be over 48" tall, which he could go down all of the slides and in all of the pools by himself!
