Miss Me?

Ok, Ok....I know, I know. It's been a while since I've blogged. Too long. Summer and it's activities have kept us busy. It's hard to blog when you are outside all the time. I completed many posts today. Be sure to look back on this blog to see what we've been up to. Hope you enjoy and I promise I won't disappear for so long next time.

Getting ready for the fair

County fair is quickly approaching. Lauren & Benjamin have been working hard on their projects. They have both decided to show a llama and a chicken this year along with an assortment of other projects. It will be exciting to see them in action at the Carver County Fair. The fun begins August 4th.

Summer vacation

Last week we spent a few days on vacation. We started off the trip with a stop at Itasca State Park where the kids got to walk across the Headwaters of the Mississippi River. Next we went to a friends' cabin on Lake Lizzie near Pelican Rapids.

Twins Game

On Sunday, we all went to the Twins game. After the game they let all the kids run the bases. A few pictures from that experience.

4th of July

4th of July Fun. We spent the morning at the parade in Delano. Then in the afternoon we went to a gathering at the Larson Farm complete with fireworks. We caught the big fireworks show in Waconia by sitting in the Target parking lot. Which was a great place to see them.

Father's Day

We spent Father's Day at my parents this year. The gang had just returned from the fishing trip to Thunder Lake so Aunt Ann & Uncle Denny were still in town. It was a very casual day as you can see by the pictures.
