July 10-17 we hopped in the van and headed to Minnesota. We had rented a cabin called Knot A Care. We were stuck in traffic several times for roadwork. Here we are sitting on the back deck of our cabin.

A family pose in front of Lake Washburn in the back of the cabin.

We are all set for a week of adventure with a canoe, a kayak, and a paddleboat.

The week involved a lot of this.

Enjoying a family meal. YUM!

All set for FUN!

Don't worry, none of us tipped over!

Overlooking Lake (Wonderful) Washburn

Gazing at the beautiful waters after a day full of boating on them.

We entered the forest to geocache after covering ourselves with OFF!

Tim had us well armed against the swarms of mosquitoes!

FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A tall tower we must climb in the name of geocaching.

Tim made it to the top!

Jesse too!

We had a blast! If anyone has $400,000 to give us, we would like to purchase it as it is for sale. Thank you and have a nice day.

Jesse, Katelyn, and the USA birthday's

Birthdays galore have been happening in the Roose Report Household. First, Jesse turned 19 years old and started on his last year as a teenager. Eleven days later Katelyn turned sweet 16 with a license to drive. Finally, our country celebrated it's 233rd birthday! Wowza!!!!!!!!

Katelyn gave Jesse three packs of Altoids and a California car duster.

Sharon jumped on a good deal at Stravers for a camping chair fit for a king.
