Thompson Family Vacation 2009

Ahhh, the bliss that was Turtle Lake, MN. Such a beautiful lake, such a beautiful week…the best week out of the summer, I hear.

Here is a summary, in pictures, of our vacation.

Loons frequented the lake, near enough so that we could see them.

Leah and Chelsea started endorsing Diet Pepsi.

 

Delicious and yummy, made-by-Deb, carrot cake was eaten by all. 

Leah practiced her Pike position for when she becomes and Olympic Diver some day.

 

Raleigh and Leah smiled at the same time in a picture. Truly a once in a lifetime moment.

Raleigh, Josh, and I were happy to pose for a pic.

 

So was Jenna.

Grandpa Steve showed Leah how to play on the floor while posing for a picture.

 

Raleigh tasted a rock…

And didn’t like it.

Joel held Leah and smiled.

Joel and Jamie found a location where they could hijack some Wi-Fi.

There was a meteor shower that I tried to catch on camera but didn’t. Now you only get to see a picture of the stars.

Raleigh took Grandpa Steve’s hat.

Joel and Raleigh sat on the end of the dock without life jackets on.

Leah  was bathed like a vegetable in the sink.

Raleigh and Leah played with Grandma Deb.

 

Leah played with a school bus.

There was a lightning storm that I did catch on camera.

Jenna and Raleigh built a fort under the table.

Raleigh put goldfish next to the fish that we drew for him.

I think that pretty much sums it up. :)
