August 17-21, Jon and all seven of his brothers went on an outdoor canoeing adventure to the Boundary Waters. The Boundary Waters is a big cluster of lakes and islands on the border of Canada and Minnesota.
They all had a great time roughing it for a few days! They had a bit of rain they dealt with and a couple capsized canoes but they toughed it out like men. They even caught and prepared their own fish dinner one night.
While Jon was off on his man adventure, Colton and I stayed in Rochester with Grandma and Grandpa Day. My sister in law Jenna was also staying at my in-laws house so it was fun spending time with her and getting to know her better! Despite Colton struggling with his new surroundings and going on a sleep fast all week, we had a great time! Rochester is a beautiful place and we really enjoyed going for walks with Grandma Day and Jenna. Jenna and I also got to go out to lunch one day while Grandma watched Colton. It was lots of fun! We watched movies and Colton spent lots of time playing with his cousins. He LOVES other kids and kept wanting to give them all hugs! He also really enjoyed the new baby swing Grandpa Day bought the grandkids for his birthday! I wish I had pictures of mine and Colton's adventures, but sadly I do not.
Jon had an awesome time on his trip and will post more details later! I'll post pictures now so he can just catch up the details on his own time!
