Cross Lake

In 2001 Mike started medical school.  During the first week of school he met several guys that have turned into lifelong friends.  We have attended weddings of one another and watched as the group grew and grew with the birth of each child.  Each has gone into a different area of medicine but all are now practicing in the twin cities.
This past weekend the Gengerkes' opened there lake home to three additional families with a total of 10 children and 8 adults for a fun filled weekend in northern Minnesota.
Todd and Jeanne with all 10 kids. 
Carter caught this northern all by himself off the dock at sunset in his spiderman pjs.  He was so very proud.

Todd's pontoon was the source of endless happiness as we spent hours cruising around Cross Lake pulling the tube and smiling children.

The kids don't get to see one another very often, but it didn't really matter.  They were instant buddies and having 10 kids around was surprisingly calm.

Priceless memories with lifelong friends.
