Cabin Trip 2026

 We did a lot of nothing- relaxed, watched shows, surfed on our phones and of course went out on the pontoon.  The fishing wasn't great but the chill time was.

Summer is Flying as Usual

 We're mixing in some want to's with the have to's...

Softball games every Tuesday and Thursday plus a couple tournaments

Claire's biggest fans

Hiking at Quarry Hill

Saints game- free tickets!

We had movie night while the boys went to the game

Clare has been into chess lately so Nick bought a board and they've been playing

The deck garden is producing- cucs, peppers and kohlrabi so far. Still waiting on the tomatoes.

Bemidji Weekend

 We celebrated Father's Day weekend with a little trip up north.  We stopped at Quarry Park and Nature Preserve near St. Cloud, checked out Bemidji and then stopped at Itasca State Park on the way home.  We can all say we walked across the Mississippi now.

Day Trip

 We spent the day hanging around the Minnehaha Falls area in Minneapolis. We played frisbee, checked out the Falls, stopped by a dog beach and ate at a dog-friendly patio.  A great day thanks to Lindsey's suggestions!

Hello, SUMMER!

 Last day of 9th grade and last day of 7th grade.  We made it!

Happenings

 We've been mostly busy with spring sports and the nonstop changing schedules but we squeezed in some other things.
