Bubbles

It was so much fun last week playing with bubbles!  We did some really neat projects with them, and it was pretty fascinating to have Brock teach us some of the activities that he learned in his art class.

Minnesota 2011

Norway Beach Resort has been my favorite vacation spot ever since I was a little girl. So many wonderful memories were made there, and Chad and I feel so blessed that we can make those memories with our family. Best vacation EVER! And although there are hundreds of pictures from this vacation, I was forced (due to the lengthy upload process) to choose a few of my favorites.

So Serene

Looking for Shells

Love the dragonfly in this pic

Our First Keeper
Brock caught him off the dock

The kids were having a fun time rolling down the hills. Here, Sophie is having fun rolling on the rocks. Ouch!

Sentimental for so many reasons

Porta-Potty

This potty goes wherever we go. If it's not in the boat (which is SO handy) it goes in the back of the suburban for our trips to Lincoln, and even though we empty out before every trip, there is always someone that has to go on the way. I also use it outside with me during the day to avoid having to come inside whenever someone has the urge to go. It has become quite the useful tool!

The Farm

The Hot Spot

Brock was so excited about Grandpa's fake worms, and they worked!

Sophie had a hard time adjusting to the late nights and early mornings.
Layin' on the Dock

Bonfire

Brock found a little friend who spent two days in a cooler before he was freed.

Playing Catch

When we went exploring and were heading back to the cabin for cookies and milk, I lost the sound of their little footsteps. I turn around to find them quietly playing in the sand on the side of the road.

Show me your hands!

Dog Pile on Daddy!

Daddy came up with an obstacle course for the kids. It was hilarious to see them stretch, race, leap frog, and summersault down the hill.
