Day at the Lake

We had a fantastic afternoon and evening at Jeff and Sue Hanson Moore's lake house today! My girls got to try their hand at water skiing, and they realized it isn't as easy as it looks!

Exploring Minneapolis

I've lived in Minnesota for almost 15 years, and I've never been to Minneapolis...until today. We had a fantastic time playing "tourist", and visiting some of the best attractions in the area!

I am so thankful for fantastic friends and neighbors! We were able to clean up all of our storm damage debris. Once this brush pile dries out, we are going to have quite the bonfire!

They built forts in the woods behind our house, and picked wild raspberries to eat. I'm so thankful they get to experience life out here. Please don't pinch me...I don't want to wake up! :-)
