The Days are Just Packed!

So last week Ruth and I were talking about our upcoming weekend plans, and I told her that we weren't really doing much; just having dinner with some new friends on Friday and maybe going to the pool with some other friends on Sunday. Ruth remarked that our weekend sounded pretty busy...and she was right! As I fell into bed at midnight on Sunday--feeling like I needed a weekend!--I realized that even low-stress, fun little adventures can add up to one busy weekend! No wonder the summer is flying!

Check out Levi's cute butt-pants! Levi is the son of Kari and Aaron, who we had dinner with Friday night. We had SO much fun! (A little too much: we stayed 5 hours and woke up feeling not so great Sat morning!). Sophia calls Levi "Baby Wevi" and talks about him constantly! She adored him! (Sorry I don't have more pics; camera died!). They were too cute together!
On Saturday we went for a big family bike ride. We took the bike path along the river up into North Fargo to beautiful Trollwood park, where we had a little picnic!


Sophia helped Daddy push the bike over to the toddler-sized play equipment after lunch.
We love this playground because Sophia can go on the equipment all by herself!


Sophia is really good about wearing her helmet now! And loves her bike cart!

So on the way back we experienced a cloud burst...we got poured on for about 20 minutes! Travis and I got a little muddy...we zipped up the bike cart and Sophia stayed nice and dry and had a little nap during our rainy ride home.

And on Sunday we went to the pool for a few hours! We tried a new walk-in pool in Fargo with play gear and fountains and a huge slide...it has a fun, beachy feel, but was a little much for Sophia. But we had fun!

Sophia and our cat, Dali, are best buddies...she calls Dali "my own cat" and professes her love to him constantly. Right now she's trying to feed him a box of puzzle pieces, so I'd better go rescue him! He's a very tolerant and wonderful cat!

Happy summer!
