The Lake is Closed

Well that is what we told the girls at least. With all the rain that Minnesota has receive this crazy summer, the chain of lakes where we have our seasonal was on an emergency "no wake" zone. This meant if you did take out your boat, you might as well use an oar.

The water level was unabelievable. Because the water was so high:

boats were drifting off their lifts

docks were so far under water, boats were on top of the docks

boat launches...well there were none

roads were closed

home/cabin owners were taking their docks out of the water in order to save them

if I were to walk on our dock, the water level would have been up to my knees at least

The water level made history, the chain of lakes has never ALL been under an emergency "no wake" zone. We hope the water level drops for the upcoming weekend so we can enjoy some fun in the sun.

Since we could not get out on the boat, the girls enjoyed some time at the campground pool...and they even started swimming/jumping on their own. Mom and Dad no longer need to be in the water with them...YEAH!!!
