Day 9, 6August2025 - Minnesota Family

On Wednesday we left our campground around 9AM. 

Camden State Campground, Lynd, MN

It was a nice campground but pretty much deserted. We never even saw a worker bee. 

The drive to the Steiner's Lake house in Crosby, MN was pretty easy and without the strong winds of the day before. 

Mike and Kris's Lake House

We arrived around 15:00 and were accommodated with a prime parking spot looking at Black Bear Lake, they even have a power post for us...sweet. 

Kris, Uncle Earle and Uncle Earle's youngest cousin, Shelly and her twins, Liam and Elizabeth, were at the Lake house. 

Fred, Uncle Earle, Kris and June

Uncle Earle looks good, it was great to see him in good health. 

Black Bear Lake

Mike was still at work, so we took his pontoon boat for a spin on Black Bear Lake, it was very relaxing. I managed to put it back on the lift without damaging his new boat, whew. 

June, Elizabeth, Shelly, Kris

After Uncle Earle headed home, Mike took everyone out on the Pontoon boat for tubing, the girls had a great time. 

June, Shelly, Elizabeth

We spent the evening around the campfire catching up, it is amazing that even though it has been years, when you get together with family it is like you were together yesterday. 

Thursday we will probably be lazy.
