Let's Go to Pelican Lake

"Let's Go to Pelican Lake, it's the place you can take your little ones.

Keep it in mind when you're looking to find a place in the summer sun! What can you do?

You can swim in the pool, snack in the cool, you can ride a canoe... can you canoe?

At Pelican Lake you'll be able to make the way vacationers do!"

From the Fair Hills theme song

Any of us will be happy to bust into this song at any given time! It's been a tradition for my family (I've been 17 years) and one that Jason and I also want to start for our family - Fair Hills Resort in Detroit Lakes, MN. It's a resort retreat that we learned about from some of our best family friends years ago - the "other" Halls - and have continued vacationing together as families now for nearly 30 years. It's gone full cycle as now 4 of the 5 original Hall kids bring their own children to enjoy the magic and awesomeness (is that a word?) that is Fair Hills.

Imagine having anything you can think of doing on a vacation, all within a 5 minute walk from your cabin, including 3 delicious meals in the dining hall. Our boys had a ball this year playing tennis, golf, exploring the wonders of a clear lake, riding golf carts, diving on a huge water slide, participating on stage, riding horses, horse shoes, volleyball, wonderful fellowship with friends, new and old, and the joy of just relaxing!!! Okay, so I admit that Jason and I had just as much fun doing all of those things plus more.

We left Stillwater on Friday, July 3 and met my parents at a gas station and caravaned up to Sioux Falls, SD, and then went the remaining 4 hours on July 4. We stayed until the following Saturday morning. I didn't miss home or technology (they do have wireless for those that can't give it up!) a bit! It's neat because so many people are return guests and your friends from previous summers are back to pick up where you left off!

I posted pictures in the link below if you want to look through them.
