So good to get away with the fam to the big lake (Superior) and even up to Canada, eh. Got to see some of God's great creation, including the Minnesota State Bird, the wretched mosquito. Especially fun to have our oldest, Derek, with us from NZ for over three weeks. Lots of games of Chess, Gipf, Settlers of Catan, 500, Badminton, Ping Pong and Tennis. Everything a vacation is meant to be, with some good reading thrown in (I'm 33% through Tolstoy's War and Peace on my Kindle (yes I can, yes I can). Also finished another book I'll probably comment on in my next post, once I'm over my indolence.
