Destination Spirit Lake

Yesterday I decided to explore the town of Spirit Lake. The downtown area is very quaint and reminded me of a smaller Brenham. Lots of antique stores with random stuff in it (I guess everyone’s definition for an antique is different).




And they love their Hawkeyes around here!



We had Michael’s training partner, Ben over for dinner. Ben brought some great hamburger steaks and bratwurst, so it was quite the feast. They are both trying to gain weight, so there is a lot of eating at the campsite.

Our neighbors never cease to amaze. There was a full on family feud yesterday afternoon, with the wife threatening to leave and the husband saying he was moving out when they got home. And if that wasn’t enough, last night their numbers grew. I think we’re up to nine kids and six adults now. This morning, the littlest boy (probably four) treated us to a show when he decided he didn’t want his clothes anymore and proceeded to strip down naked on the dock in front of our campsite. Eating Cheerios has never been so eventful!
