Guy's Weekend: 6/1 - 6/3

It was Craig Zweber, Bob Wicklund, and Jason Boesch joining Shaun at the cabin this weekend. All friends from being on the University of Minnesota drumline together and all lived at the same house in college.

This was a good weekend to have just the guys, as Liz had an Usborne Books booth at St. Paul's Grand Old Day.

After getting about an hour out of town on the way up, Shaun realized he forgot the food he bought the night before at the grocery store. It was a good thing he took off work and left early, so he was able to run to the new County Market in Aitkin to re-buy everything...

Got the lawn mowed before they got there, and then we went out for dinner at the Knotty Pine Friday night.

Saturday after putting in the pontoon boat and boat lift over at my parents cabin, we did some water skiing behind Craig's boat in wet suits. We waved at my cousin, Jim, on the way past his dock. Over on the other side of the lake, we stopped and talked to some new friends, Pete and Reya (sp?). Craig's mom knows them from owning Leo's bar in New Market. We sat and talked at the end of their dock over a few beers for probably an hour.

The four of us grilled steaks for dinner, put together egg bake for Sunday's breakfast, and then hung out at the campfire pretty much all night. The brush pile is finally almost gone. It would have been all gone but we just ran out of night.

Sunday we got up late and ate egg bake for breakfast. We went out and water skied one more time.

We cleaned up and left by 5pm and stopped at the Blue Goose for supper on the way home.

Good times.
