Boys Golfing Day

Nick and Charlie hit a bucket of balls and then golfed nine holes.

Season Opener

The Twins finally started playing!  We can't go to the ballpark this year so we brought the ballpark to us.

Record Trips

We went tubing for 7 miles (took longer than expected- about 4.5 hours with only one stop) and went for a bike ride the next day from Cascade Lake to Dairy Queen on North Broadway using mostly trails.  We stopped at three parks along the way which kept Claire happy (mostly, except her "legs hurting" but they were magically fine when we arrived at each park).

"The barge" which would only stay intact for a short while

Charlie looking for fish and Claire trying to avoid fish "biting her butt"

Snack time

Family photo op

Charlie's great find in the river- I knew he would find something!

They made it!  Very ready to be done but it was fun

Bike ride and a sweet treat

Cabin Vacation

We had the best time at a great cabin on Sturgeon Lake.

Picking blueberries

He caught the most weeds but he also caught the most fish

We got up at 5:00 to see the sunrise one day and the boys went out to fish

Balloon Lagoon to pass the time while it rained

Claire was the sunny fishing champ!
