Okoboji for one last time this summer!

We spent part of Labor Day week-end once again at Lake Okoboji, this time staying with friends Jim and Nancy.  Megan and the children drove to the farm Thursday night, arriving around 10 p.m.  We left for Okoboji on Friday morning, meeting Matt there around noon.  For a rundown on our trip getting there in Megan's Tahoe, please see her post on the right at "Kayley's Story".  Very amusing!

The weather wasn't nearly as nice as our last stay at the lake but we all still had a great time.  The wind off the lake made Grandma colder than she wanted to be but I wouldn't have traded the week-end for anything.  :-)  There is lots to see and do there during this particular holiday, which is the end of the season for all the resorts, parks, etc.  Lots of people show up for one last lake adventure.  After this week-end the boats start coming out of the water, docks get put away, etc.  :-( 

We left for the farm on Sunday afternoon and Labor Day we went to Kevin and Julie's home in Dayton for breakfast, bloody mary's and parade watching.  Drew and Kayley learned quickly that if you wave and act cute you will receive LOTS of candy.  LOL 

It was a great end of the summer.  Some pics of our time together:

Kayley loved petting Frosty and Warren the cat at Rick and Nadine's

One more ride on that roller coaster

Drew thought this ride was a bit too tame for him

Kayley chose a red fish this time!

Lots of old cars and hot rods lined the street by Arnolds Park
