I hope you all had a great 4th of July. Its hard to believe its already July. Hopefully we'll actually have some summer weather from here on out. We had a wonderful time in Brainerd. Hayden LOVED the waterpark. He has been going here since he was 6 months old and now he is able to go on all the waterslides alone. He is getting so big! He of course loves it and thinks its great he is so big and can do more things by alone. I won on a silent auction another 2 rounds of 18 holes at the Legacy(Jason golfed there last week and of course loved golfing on a 5 star course!) So we will be going back up there sometime this summer and why daddy is golfing I am thinking we will do the waterpark, Hayden had that much fun! Carson was fashionable at the waterpark sporting his swimtrunks and rash guard while sleeping in his carseat!
We were able to enjoy at Craguns once the weather was super nice a day at the outdoor pool. Hayden was in heaven and Mommy wasn't complaining about sitting out in the sun. We also went on a Pontoon ride that day. We've be going to Cragun's since the summer before my junior year so 2000...it may be time to try another resort like Madden's or Breezy Point. We encountered a few issues before and during our stay. Like their website has had issues forever and they don't seem to fix it. But we will still go back to Cragun's because they have great employees like Brad who works at the Marina(he some how always ends up on our boat...) and Kate who works for the activities department. Their reservation manager doesn't seem to have a clue about well anything which is sad because Cragun's is a great place and some place we've enjoyed for years. I hope too that they will fix the hot tubs(2 were closed one is in need of paint) and get their customer care back in shape.
Hayden was able to go to Camp Cragun's for the first time this year. They played in the Sports Centre, decorated shirts, and made sand art. Plus we figured 9 bucks is worth all the missed tears that we would of encountered when Jason went golfing.
We also were able to visit Molly, Dennis and Louise for a little while over lunch. Its always good to see them and Dennis is always a hoot!
Hayden missed his Daddy terribly...until the waterpark!
Carson is such a trooper and great little guy still. I can't believe he is such a good traveler and doesn't mind being dragged all around!
We were able to celebrate the 4th on the 3rd in Nisswa and Crosslake. We went to a parade, where I've never seen so many people lined up and down the streets. And fireworks in Crosslake, which were kind of a disappointment because we couldn't see much(even though we sat right were the website told us to and where we sat prior.) On the 4th we went to downtown Brainerd to see their festival thing. People in Brainerd take parades very seriously. At noon people had empty chairs and tape marking off their spots the parade didn't start until 4. Reserved parking is $25 and is on sale in April. It was quite humorous. They had free corn feed that we finally made our way to and had yummy sandwiches. Carson got a little cranky and hot so I trekked back to the Tahoe with him while Hayden and Brandon played(I think!).
It was a great week with activities and relaxing, couldn't ask for better!
