MEA Weekend 2014

The kids do not have school on MEA Weekend, which is always the third weekend of October. This year we headed up north to Brainerd with 5 other families and stayed at the super fun Grand View Lodge. This is always a treat for the kids and the adults with lots of fun activities. We stayed at a beautiful cabin on the lake, where we had awesome family meals, fun game playing, and bonfires.



Mom, Dad, and Canyon were all able to go golfing on the beautiful resort courses. The kids also went miniature golfing at Pirates Cove.



The Moms and daughters went into town for some shopping at the famous Christmas Point store that is open all year round.



The resort had lots of activities for the kids like pie eating contests and scare crow decorating contests. While the kids enjoyed those activities, Mom enjoyed a nice massage. We also ran into other EP families while at Grandview.



The kids' favorite activity was probably swimming at the pool, jumping into the cold lake, and then heading to the hot tub. We probably spent a couple hours of every day at the pool!




We aso played bingo. And our crew was the lucky winner with 5 winners in total. Mom scored $50!



All in all, we enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and hanging with friends. And of course, no visit to Grand View would be complete without a stop at the Chocolate Ox! A fun-filled weekend!
