This is how we do it.
Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 4:21PM We only have three nice weekends a year here in Minnesota.
This is how we spend them.
Everyone knows someone with a cabin. And if you don't, you rent one. Preferably one with high speed wireless internet.
When you go to these cabins, you typically hike, fish, kayak, canoe, stare at the lake, stare at the fire, stare at the sun until you go blind, read, and knit.
Sometimes cabins even have a special fish cleaning building, so as not to sully your otherwise pristine lakefront property.
Sometimes, if you're lucky, cabins even come with beautiful water views straight from the front door.
Just to prove my trustworthiness, I did not move the child's shoes and socks that cluttered this photo.
I'll be spending the entire evening here, thank you very much.
Maybe doing a little of this:
Until this happens involuntarily and your husband secretly takes your picture and you discover it on your hard drive when you're uploading your photos.
Tomorrow, I intend to try my hand at a little fishing.
Because there are so many lakes in this fine state, the fish practically beg to be caught. Even the fish are Minnesota Nice.
In fact, fishing here is much like this:
I'll let you know how many I snag.

What a most wonderful weekend!!! :) Hope you have a great time with your family!! And catch plenty of fish :D
It's funny that you posted that video though - I was just telling one of the boys about it a couple of weeks ago :D
This is exactly how my dad taught me to fish! Only we had to whisper it so we wouldn't scare them away. Then we had to "soft the fishie" before it could go back in the water (my sister hadn't learned the word "pet" yet). Then ceremoniously wiped the fish slime onto my dad's jeans. Ah the good ol days. :P
What a fabulous weekend. I love the photo of the resting Yarnista. I see why hubby took it. Enjoy!!
It must be the season! My dad just headed to Minnesota for some fishing this week too :) (actually they're headed farther north, but his first stop is MN)
Hahaha! I love that Sesame Street clip! Hope you're having a wonderfully relaxing time. :)
Gee, and here I thought that was the road to my place! Good thing it wasn't since I spent my weekend in the big city. Looks like a good time was had....love that surprise photo!
