We have been taking advantage of the great August weather
and making the most of the last month of summer!
My mom, Leah and I went to “Seussical” with Jaclyn, Kaylee
and Deb. It was a great play. I think my favorite of the season at Stages
Theater in Hopkins. It has been so much fun for the 6 of us to go to regular
plays for the last 2 years. Kaylee and Leah love spending time together,
unfortunately since we live an hour from each other, they don’t get play dates
as often as they would like, so the plays are a great opportunity for them to
see each other as well as to learn about the theater!
We had an absolutely gorgeous day at Bunker Beach on August
7. The girls and I along with Sara and Michael enjoyed fun in the sun and
water. Leah was officially tall enough for the big slides this year. She did
need a little encouragement, but really enjoyed the slides once she finally got
the courage to try them (even though she had tried them last year, but just
forgot)! Amber, on the other hand, is
the no fear girl. She was up on the smaller slides by herself in less than 10
minutes and kept asking to go on the big slides! I guess she is just trying to
keep up with her big sister!
August 11-14 brought us up to the cabin again. Joe was not
able to join us as he went to Eveleth for the Hockey Hall of Fame Golf Tourney
where it sound like he had a great time. The girls always love being up at the
cabin especially with Thea and Delila. They love to play with their cousins. We
also were able to spend some time with the new neighbors. It was fun to get to
know them. Sara, Doug, Drew and Blake made it over for a day while we were there
as well. We so enjoyed their visit. The girls certainly loved the attention
from Blake and Drew!
Then, on August 15, my mom, the girls and I headed to the MN
Zoo. Another amazing day! We have been so lucky this summer as the weather has
been very cooperative for us when we have planned outings! We had a wonderful
day at the zoo. We checked out the animals, Amber rode a camel (Leah didn’t
want to), we went through the Dinosaur Exhibit, and we rode the monorail! The
girls really seems to enjoy the day, and I must say that I enjoyed it as well!
I had to work on the 18,19 (boo to working the weekend), but
at least I was able to have some fun!
The afternoon of August 18 we spent celebrating the 8th
birthday of a handsome young man named Michael! We had lots of outdoor fun!
Again, a gorgeous day! Leah spent the night for the extended portion of the
birthday party for just 4 kids. She had a great time. Thanks Sara and Mike!
After I worked on Sunday, the girls and I headed up to
Duluth to visit my Aunt Vicky and Uncle Jim/ Leah’s Godmother and Godfather! We stayed until Monday evening and had such a
nice time. So glad we were even able to spend time with John and Chris who are
always so fabulous with the girls. John was a trooper and even went into the
cold lake with Leah so that I didn’t have to! Thanks John!!
