Yep, I missed the whole month of July.....at least in Blog World, I did!
Not to say we haven't been doing anything worthy of some screen space...
..just the opposite, actually!
We have (finally) had some decent weather, so we have squeezed in as much outdoor time as possible!
All of our playgroups and school groups have been meeting during the summer...outdoors, of course!
What happens when you mix good weather with kids and a body of water???.....
....FUN!!
We had company the weekend of the Fourth. Our friends, Josh and Lyndsey came for a visit. Their son, Becker, and the kids had a good time goofing off and just being boys. We went to the Bayfront Fourth Festival and then watched the fireworks.
Obviously, by this point, Landon was way beyond tired and not exactly in a friendly mood....
After the Fourth, Nana and Bompa came for a visit.
Of course, I don't have a single picture from that whole week (I know....BAD mom!!!!) but Nana was snapping away with her camera. The big event from their visit was that the boys worked on our fence......and it is *soclose* to being all done. I will post a finished picture when the time comes. :)
We took a day to visit Auntie Lisa down in the Cities as well. We had lunch at Bubba Gump, which Landon loved......they have a big "scrimp"!
Whew!! No wonder we have been too busy to blog!!
But, we aren't done yet!
This last week, Mimi came for a visit. And as if we haven't been doing enough to keep busy, we decided to really show Mimi the fun stuff in Duluth.
First stop....the Tall Ships were in town!
Next, off to the Train Museum...Landon's favorite place on Earth!
Then out to the Cities to hit the Mall of America......including the aquarium.
......Avery learned how to shop with Mimi while we were there too.....
Landon showed her how to go on all the rides at the mall!
Uncle Kevin and Auntie Pam took a day to take us on a boat tour of the lake and have some treats on the beach....
And finally, we hit the zoo!
Just for me, Mimi made my favorite.....chicken and dumplings!
And just like I used to help my Grandmother, Landon and Avery got to help her with the rolling.....
......and tasting!
Well, as much fun as we had in July, I am looking forward to a lazier August!
Somehow, I don't think that will happen!
I guess that is what the loooooong winters are for up here...... :)
