Only in Minnesota!

Today is one of those days when we say “only in Minnesota!” It’s May 3rd and we still have ice on Lake Florida which is highly unusual. All around the resort there are still remnants of snow drifts. We are raking the lawn around the snow drifts! Simon and Sasha love having us outside with […]

The last April sunset

Tonight was the last sunset in April at Dickerson’s Resort. We had to wait until the very end, but it was worth it. The crack in the Lake Florida ice shows hope for an ice off soon-we think! 🙂  

Signs of summer

There are many ways  it starts to look and feel like the vacation season is around the corner. The days are getting longer, the temperatures are warmer and play equipment starts arriving at the resort! Today we brought the hydro bikes home from storage. Summer can’t be far away now! The hydro bikes will be […]

Snow again-that’s Minnesota!

Two days ago, April 17th, we had boat races on Lake Florida and today the boats are on “ice dock” The sand beach which was so visble is now covered with snow. The weatherman predicted cold and snow and he was right. We are very thankful-we only received about 6 inches rather than the 12 […]

Boat races on Lake Florida

4-17-13 It has been a truly long winter at the resort and in all of Minnesota. Today we had a glimmer of hope as there was about 6 feet of open water at the edge of the beach of Lake Florida! We decided it was time for boat races! Bob got a yellow and an […]
