Well, it has been awhile!  Time to get started again!  And what better way to return than with a new baby, Baby Jack.  Sometimes called Baby Jack Jack.  He is absolutely adorable, and absolutely adored by his entire family.  Absolutely everyone wants a turn holding him.  And he is just so happy! This little boy is carrying on the name.  He's the third boy of the family!  And may he and his brothers have many sons of their own! Stay tuned for more adventures in the family Worley! "And now, may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you.

Nisswa Turtle Races!

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!

"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. ...
