Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Happy 4th of July!

In the morning, the kids decorated the golf cart with Grandma Sharon for the parade.

Todd and I went on another run/rollerblade together and I shot the signs.  Skiers, snowmobilers and horseback riders were allowed here.

But snowmobiles were not allowed here.

Akeley is only 6.3 miles away.

The railroad that was repaved is now called the Heartland Trail.

So many birch trees line the trail.  I love the sound of the wind blowing through their little leaves.

 The boat parade started up shortly after we got back.  See the Cheeseburger in Paradise?

Santa came down to enjoy the warmer temps and to take a break from making all the toys.

There was even an aircraft carrier this year!  There was an airplane flying close behind this one.

Once the parade ended, Bean went out kayaking.

And Owen chilled (Owen, you better be wearing a bunch of sunblock laying out in the sun like that!!) on a lounge chair with his sandy feet.

My feet are up like this over much of our time Up North.  It's awesome.
