Nisswa Turtle Races!

Image
What would a trip to the cabin be without the Nisswa Turtle Races!  I do not know how long these have been going on, but I do know it has been awhile since we have had kids young enough (and old enough to enjoy) to participate. This was the 52nd Annual Nisswa Turtle Races summer.  It ran from June 3, 2015 through August 19, 2015.  It was offerred only on Wednesdays.  They provided the Turtles to race.  We had to get there early to register, by 1 p.m.  The races started at 2 p.m.  And what fun it was.  They did the races in "heats" of maybe 20 turtles at a time.  It went really, really fast.  And it needed to----our kids numbers started around 190! This picture was taken earlier in the day.  No one is around.  We had no idea that the Turtle Races were so popular!  We should have, because we have been here before.  But....selective memory!  Remember only the fun parts!  One few of the line t...

"Now Somewhere in the Black Mining Hills of Dakota....

...lived a young man named Rocky Raccoon."  I always thought that song said "South" Dakota.  Are there Black Hills in both Dakotas?  I'm sure I don't know and am not really going to take the time to find out, no matter how easy it is with Google, Bing, etc. After Cabin Time, This set of Worleys, young and old, headed for those Black Hills.  We were going to see Mount Rushmore.  In South Dakota.  And to see anything else that struck our fancy.  So we struck out in our trusty Jeep and Mini-van, loaded with kids and snacks.  On July 30.  We saw lots of motorcycles as we went.  Lots. Of. Motorcycles!  Come to find out, it was the start of the annual Sturgis Rally.  In Sturgis, SD.  If you do not know what that is, feel free to Google it! Our must stop place was Wall Drug Store.  In Wall, South Dakota.  We stopped, we ate, we shopped around.  It is a lovely place to spend a lot of time walking around. ...

Grandchildren Are Sneaky!

Image
  We had the pleasure of having Abby, Keely, and Jenni staying with us for a few days while Rod was on a retreat in Guatemala.  We had a wonderful time.  Those little girls have quite the imaginations!  And they are sneaky.  Very sneaky.  Actually, all my grandchildren are sneaky except for Jack.  And I'm sure he WILL be sneaky one day!   Every one of them likes to play in my room.  The main attraction is the huge paperweight  Elliptical machine.  They all are very proud of how well they can make those pedals move!  Sometimes two of them are on there at the same time.  Makes me nervous.  They also love clocks and timers.  At some point every clock in every room has moved around.  I find them in the kitchen, in the dining room, and in some place that I would never expect.  Pop has an alarm clock with a phone.  Currently we do not have the phone hooked up.  The kiddos can be found talking to s...
