A Minnesota summer.

Summer, in pictures:

 I got to spend lots of great time with my family at the lake.  Here is my mom and Aunt Julie, after a day (or many days!) in the sun.

The sunsets on Trout Lake are the best.  This is my little cousin fishing.

Sunset boating.

Sunset water (sense a theme?!)

Really, we're not twins. (My sister Laura and I.)

I will miss long summer nights.

Stormy skies on a drive through central MN.

Jayme and I went to the Boundary Waters.  It was an epic, and I mean epic, trip.  We had steak the first night.

And oatmeal the following morning.

And here we are making our "holy crap we made it through the hardest portage of our lives" faces.  It was an intense trip, but the adventure was oh so worth it.

This campsite won the "best ever stayed at in BWCA" award.  It was rainy when we set up, but the morning brought sun and warmth.

Roots, rock, and water.  

4 days and I'm on a plane back to Rwanda. Where'd the time go?!  

Hope your summer is full of beautiful sunsets and fun adventures.

Much love.
