My whole family had planned to take a summer vacation in northern Minnesota together. However, with the size of our large family it was hard to find a place big enough that met our criteria! So we ended up all taking the same week of the end of June and had ourselves a little staycation! First up we rented a boat on Lake Waconia! Unfortunately due to all of the rain we got earlier in the summer the water was really high on all of the lakes so the whole lake was a no wake zone! No problem for us...we scooted along slowly to the other side of an island, dropped anchor and enjoyed the PERFECT weather!

Day Two we headed to Cascade Bay water park in Eagan! We had a blast on all of the water slides and floating down the lazy river! It was a little cloudy and cool that day but we made the best of it and managed to get out of the water park with minutes to spare before a torrential downpour!
Day Three we headed to Stillwater to bum around the town! The St. Croix river was also incredibly high from all of the rain. I wish I had taken some pictures. There were light posts halfway underwater where there is normally a sidewalk to walk along by the river. We did a wine tasting for a local vineyard which was fun and very yummy! Then we headed to lunch at the Freight House!
All in all it was a fun few days with the family! We so cherish all of the time we get to spend together making awesome memories!
