MN4 - Hiller Clan 2.0

 For this trip, the whole Hiller clan came up, and it was so wonderful to get the whole family together experiencing a place that we grew up coming to each year.  It was a blast!

Brock and I went up a few days earlier so that he could go to Minneapolis to visit Jack and so I could get the cabin and dock ready for the family.  It took about a day to get the weeds cleared from around the dock to allow for all the boats.

After:

Little did I know that some of the weeds I was pulling were contanimated with swimmer's itch.  Note to self for next year that a wetsuit may be in order.  :)
