Summer at Cedar Rapids Lodge comes to an end!

      Where did the summer go?  All of a sudden it's Labor Day weekend...the last days for the pool...potlucks are over for the season...the last weekend for kids at the resort!
      It was an awesome summer for fishing...and continues into the fall...
Patsy's northern last week...


Her sister, Mem's big bass...both fish released!

Chris' giant northern last week...released!

Grandson, Calvin, and Grandpa the Great with their catch...consumed for dinner that night!

The candy counter supply is much smaller than this photo taken in June!  

We will miss all the decorated cabins...until next year!

With the resort season winding down...I find more time to...
Bake with this guy...
and his sister...
making blue muffins that don't last long on the plate!

I also will enjoy more time to play when grandkids visit...
Lucien couldn't wait to show me his missing teeth!

We treasure the grandkid pictures...
Youngest, Calli, had her first DQ cone...
And was very sad when it was done!  Can you see her tears?  Awww...

 I look forward to sewing and creating...

Samples of projects I hope to find time for this winter!

We continue the journey of building a home/cabin/reunion house/quilt retreat...
Lumber delivery yesterday...

Walkout basement and view of the lake!

We made our last batch of these...and they were a hit!
The resort dog, Wrigley, on her 10th birthday...she was upside down with excitement!

Thank you, Patsy, for sharing this beautiful sunrise last week...


And her sunset was equally beautiful!

In 2 days, we begin our 28th year at Cedar Rapids Lodge...where did the years go?  We treasure the memories and look forward to many more years at this beautiful piece of heaven!

Our first summer...1988...feeding the ducks...feels like yesterday!

It's not too early to plan your family vacation for 2015!  We are filling up fast!  Give us a call and come make your own memories!  

Happy Labor Day!
