Global 10 Year Reunion

It's hard to believe that 10 years ago, I headed on the adventure of a lifetime with 27 basic strangers and Ted & Michelle. Last weekend, we celebrated our 10 year reunion at Larsmont Cottages, just south of Two Harbors, MN. We had a big turnout and had a lot of fun. Paul, the kids and I (and Docia) headed up after work on Thursday night. We enjoyed the resort, being on the lake and seeing the moon on the lake that night. Friday, the moms that were there (& Paul and Kirst J.) headed out with the kids for a walk. Blake Prouty & Anna became good friends & liked sitting next to each other, for at least a while. That afternoon, we just enjoyed hanging out at the resort. A lot of people trickled in as the day progressed and those that were there enjoyed dinner at Black Woods in Two Harbors that night. Friday night, we hung out at the campfire and partied it up, including a little global dance party in Ted & Michelles cabin. Saturday morning, we headed to Gooseberry Falls with the BFG (big frickin group). More chilling that afternoon and a global BBQ & slide show that night. We enjoyed more time between cabins that evening and just being together. Sunday, we capped off the weekend with a brunch at the resort. We had such a good time together, it was hard to leave. We were so lucky to be close together and hang out so much after the kiddos went to bed. I truly am blessed to have had my global experience and truly treasure the friendships that I have kept throughout the last 10 years.
