Day Trip with Ely

We decided to have a "Family Adventure Day" today and included Ely.  We weren't sure how it would go, but you never know until you try and I'm hoping to include the dog on as many adventures as possible.  Ely has been so well-behaved so far that we couldn't think of a reason to leave him behind all day.

Once we arrived at our initial destination, we took the kids on the alpine slide and they rode the go-carts.  After that we went out to lunch, followed by a long boat ride along the St. Croix river and ended up with some hiking.  We ran into a family we knew and the kids climbed on rocks (which is always a thrilling adventure).  Ely handled all the activity very well.  By the time we got home, we were tired!  We wrapped up the day with watching some of the Olympics.  We all agree it was a fun day!
