Rose Lake

Big news:  Grampy is officially retiring Februray 2014.  Bigger news:  They sold the farm.  Well, they sold 40 acres of the farm to a lovely family, who will raise their children on the land.  Biggest news: Not wanting to be homeless, Grammy and Grampy purchased a beautiful, beautiful home on Rose Lake!!!!  The kids and I went to check it out, and it is pretty awesome.  We started the day with pancakes.  Not Grampy's pancakes, but the local home-cooking restaurant in Detroit Lakes did pretty good job with their buttermilks.

 Rose Lake is about 20 minutes from Detriot Lakes, 20 minutes closer to us!  Sa-Weet!  But, it gets better...

 It has beautiful gardens, and a charming little path down to the lake.  It comes equipt with  a secret hideout.

 and a deck large enough for a hot-tub.  But, the very best part...  Wait for it... Wait for it...

 IT HAS A TREE HOUSE!!!  A real tree house with a bucket attached to a pulley system.

 And of course, there is plenty of room to run.

We are super super excited for this new house, and all the possibilites.  Change is good.
