For our final hurrah of the summer (and yes, I realize it's almost Halloween), we spent 2 weeks with my family in Chanhassen, MN.
And I have to say, it was one of the best vacations I've had in a really really long time. Who knew Minnesota was such a crazy fun place to live (at least during the summer)?
 |
| The Schneibers (and Megan, the almost-Schneiber) |
The entire Schneiber clan was assembled in Mom and Dad's house (sans Jacqueline in Sweden); complete with new brother-in-law Russ and Dr. Katie, Erik and his very awesome girlfriend Megan, Grandma Emma from Las Vegas, and Grandparents Ada and Bob from California.
 |
| The whole crew--minus babies who had a meltdown and went to bed |
Then, Mom managed to order up absolutely perfect weather. We basically had 2 weeks straight of warm, perfectly sunny days, with just one Sunday of misty rain.
 |
| Seriously--PERFECT weather |
The multitude of family, the beautiful weather, and the Minnesotans love of everything outdoors (at least during the summer), meant that there was a ton to do and plenty of people to do it with (as well as plenty of willing babysitters).
 |
| Double shoulder rides! |
We went on beautiful bike rides
 |
| MN has miles and miles of AWESOME bike paths |
 |
| The girls loved the sweet bike stroller we borrowed |
We went boating on the lake
 |
| On the boat |
 |
| It's a rough life, obviously |
 |
| Captain Lily |
 |
| Savannah knows that boating is serious business |
We ate delicious food
 |
| Waiting for our food at Tinfish |
 |
| Grandma makes waiting VERY exciting |
 |
| Most of the family |
 |
| Wahoo! We love Minnesota! |
We played golf (Rob even took lessons--it was a MN miracle!!)
 |
| I have no pictures of golf--so here is Megan and Erik waterskiing |
We played sand volleyball
 |
| Again, no pictures of volleyball--so this is a burger place we went to that was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives |
We went swimming
 |
| Swimming in the chilly lake--Savannah couldn't get enough of it! |
 |
| Lily did not want to leave the towel b/c she hated the sand |
And at the end of every full day we slept really, really well.
 |
| And we spent a LOT of time with DAD!!!! |
And it's probably obvious by now, but we are DEFINITELY planning a return trip to the most funnest place around, the Chanhassen Resort and Spa. (But we'll probably wait until next summer!) :)
