Here they are

This is our new tent (that we took back cause it had 2 big holes in it straight out of the box).



This is our great day on the lake. The lake was great but the boat started having some problems. We still had a blast








This is Anna and I at the Headwaters of the Mississippi.

Labor Day.......

So I think it may be time to update the old blog again. No excuses just kind of forgot. Well school started up again last week and it has been going really well. I am still waiting to finish my private pilot course but all I have is one more flight. I am in German 2, Military science 1 and 2 ( to catch up from the first semester I missed), aviation orientation, aviation human factors, ROTC lab and PT and helicopter private pilot course. All in all it is 19 credits so a fairly busy semester.
We did take a break this past weekend to go camping with our new tent and sleeping bags and take a rented boat out to Lake Itasca and Lake Bemidji (both in Minnesota) to go tubing and knee boarding. The boat lasted a few hours before it broke (longer story than I want to tell) so we went back to shore and swam in the freezing Minnesota water. We took a walk the next day to the “Mouth of the Mississippi.” It was cool but just another place on the map that I can tell my grand kids that I went. Very pretty place but after 20 minutes not much left to see. Here are some pictures of the fun vacation with more on the way later.
