I spent the weekend at my sister-in-law's condo on Lake Okoboji, in Iowa.

Ironically, some people from Minnesota opt to spend their summers on the shores of Okoboji, one of just a handful of lakes in Iowa, instead of the 10,000 lakes in Minnesota. Indeed, two of my sister-in-law's neighbors live in Minnesota, and I saw one boy with an "EP" cap on his head at the local amusement park, Arnold's Park.
