We went up this weekend with just my Mom and family. It was a very relaxing weekend and as usual, the kids had a nice time. There was a really wild front that rolled through on Saturday morning.
The kids enjoying themselves…
I woke up to shut the windows and saw this front rolling in. It reminds me of looking up at a wave breaking in the ocean from underneath.
I took advantage of a team outing at Target Field to bring Joey to his first Twins game today. I have wanted to do this since he was born and I hope it is the first of many games that we can attend together. Happy birthday buddy!
Happy birthday buddy!
We had a birthday party for the kids today. It was was ridiculously hot but we had plenty of water, juice, a pool, sprinkler, and bounce house for everyone to play in. They seemed to all have a good time 🙂 We ended the day at Val’s pool to cool off with neighbors which was very refreshing.
I found out that Rob and Kim were in town today and met them at Marc and Genell’s for some dinner and catching up. The kids cannot wait to hangout again 🙂 Good times as always!!
Thanks to Jon and Tina we have some fun pictures from the pool the other
night. Thanks again Val!
The kids wanted to come back a day early from the lake because they missed
their buds. So, yesterday afternoon we setup the slip-n-slide and soon after
a water fight broke out.

We fired up the grill in this very hot day with friends and the kids had a
blast in the water.

We spent the entire last week at the cabin. We had everyone up from our family with exception of Katie. As usual the kids had a blast together and the adults had their own fun. We played in the water, boated, visited “Florida Point”, spent a lot of time at the Tiki Bar and Sand Bar, watched fireworks, attended a parade, played mini golf, went through a huge maze, and hung out with friends.
The weather could not have been better, there were only a couple of small instances of rain that occurred mostly during sleeping hours and the water was very refreshing.
**Disclaimer – I have a little tradition with the kids, they like when I shave my beard, I only do this when we have a long vacation. Don’t be scared 🙂

The last couple of weekends we went camping with Carolyn’s family and the next we spent at the cabin. We really lucked out on weather both times considering there was rain back at home 🙂

The kids really enjoyed time with their cousins
The next weekend we were off to the cabin and enjoyed some really nice weather (compared to many weekends so far this summer). Nix and Jen joined us for the weekend. Nix, Big Joe, and I went on an adventure to the other lake breaking through beaver dams and bogs to get to the other side.

The kids fished, played with friends, and swam in the lake. Nix and I jumped off the dock with Elizabeth (video in photoset and below).
