A new year of adventures!

Our 2019 adventures are soon to begin!
We have been talking, planning, and dreaming of this day for many years and the time has come for our first trip that doesn't require a firm start day or end day! 
No company telling us we have a limited amount of days. 

This first trip will be an interesting trip lasting around 8 weeks, we have a few destinations in mind but mostly we will see where the good weather takes us!
 We started our adventure by going north with our kids and grand kids.
This is year #5 for this annual family trip😎

Fun time snowshoeing on the lake for the first time, Jan was a little nervous! The ice was pretty thick and there were quite a few ice fisherman out further on the lake!
Then came day two! Those are our snowshoe tracks from the day before and that crack was not there😰😱😲😵
 The ice is 12-18" thick, It was close to -20 degrees when this crack appeared, as it warmed up over the next couple days the ice was making lots of noise!

 Always good to witness another sunrise😎 
Jan found a bump in the snow😍No broken hip this time!
Juniper #3grandchild- so much fun and likes to make everybody feel good😍 

Helen#2 grandchild and Boone #4
 Juni and Boone playing with a piece of Lake Superior that their dad brought in for them.
 When it is -15F outside 110F feels pretty good!
Ninja Nora #1 grandchild - Quite an adventurer!
Flynn #5 grandchild, always ready with a smile😇
It was a busy day😍

Ellie #1 Daughter and Isaac #1 Son in law
Ben #1 Son -20 on the lake that day, it was hard walking into the wind!



Birthday and game time!
No donuts today😞

I finally found some ice clear enough to see through, I didn't locate any sunken treasures!
It is a little unnerving to be so clear!

Jan getting the perfect picture!



We stayed in this campsite in Grand Marais, Mn just a few months ago and I don't remember all this white stuff? It is one of our favorite sites in the campground and nice to see it is available, to bad
we left the Airstream at home.
Our plan is to be back here in July😎

Ice, Snow and very cold temps this week- next week sun, sand and much warmer
somewhere south. We will see where the road takes us😎
