Archive: KDAE vacationing in Minnesota with the Howards

Kids up in Minnesota Kids on Dock by Sailboat

The Oostras are vacationing back in Minnesota and enjoying time “stomping” around the areas near Minneapolis (and in Wayzata) where they spent a few years early of marriage. They initially spent some time with friends “in the city” then up with cousin Justin and Katie Howard and their family of five now at at their summer lake house. I’m sure the couple of photos were to make me a little jealous (sailboat) and it of course is working. 😊

EDIT add 7/31/2024: And to make me even more jealous, my nephew Justin sent me a photo of the family sitting by a fire overlooking their lake. Beautiful and relaxing. Does it get any nicer???

EDIT Add: One more photo of the gang together …

So besides archiving the photos, I figured since this was “lake sailing,” it might be a good place to add a photo of our old 18’ Thistle that we never really sailed. It was behind our house up in Hudson, Ohio in the 1990s when A LOT was happening  business and career-wise. It just never happened until Tulla came around
