The Family of Cedar Rapids Lodge!

     Our family has changed since we took this picture in 1987...the summer we moved to Cedar Rapids Lodge....
We were a young family excited for our new adventure in Minnesota...
and 26 years later, the Addler family has grown up!

The oldest, Jen, and her family...
Nathan, 7, Marc, Jill, 4, Jen and Calvin, 9

Oldest son, Max, and his family....
Greyson, 6, Max, Sara, Tate, 3 and Will, 11

Middle son, Sam and family....
Lucien, 5, Roz, Monica, 4, Ben, 8, Sam and Olivia, 1

and youngest son, John and family....
John, Calli, 3 months and Alicia

Needless to say, when any or all come to visit, the resort is a busy place!  Our kids worked hard when they were growing up...we probably didn't appreciate them as much as we should have. When they left for college and then married and left this place for their own digs, we realized how hard they worked and cared about the resort!  We love when they come "home" and bring their families...we love how they just pitch in and help in the lodge or wherever we need them!  They take pride in the resort and we consider them all a big part of our life here!  Even the grand kids are getting old enough to help out!  If the chore involves using the golf cart and grand kids, it always is fun getting the job done!!

We were pretty green when we bought this place...
Oh my, just look how young we were!  And now...

How the years have flown by!  We love our life at the resort...and our family, friends and guests have made it possible for us to live here and work here and vacation with all of you!
Thank you for making our 26 years so much fun...we look forward to this 27th year!
