Charles and Lisa's

We spent a great day out at Charles and Lisa's place on Lake Minnetonka. Although they do not have kids of their own, this place is the perfect place to entertain the kids - there is SO much to do! The kids were exhausted by the end of the night, but still wanted to stay and play. Lisa told them they could stay overnight next time - does she have any idea what she is opening herself up for?

View of their home from the lakeshore:

Their boats:

The kids think getting down the hill is half the fun:

Time to unload and get on the boat:

Ryan and Kyle racing down the hill:

They would run so fast and the hill was so steep, they'd start turning sommersaults, I'm amazed no one was hurt:

There were so many sailboats on the water, perfect day for it:
