Last Tuesday we went to our first Glyndon 4-H meeting. It's a cute little group! Ella is an 8 year old who gave a sewing demonstration.
Then two other kids shared their show rabbits with the crew, and talked about bunny showing. There's a lot of work that goes into it! Sophia had a great time (especially running around with the blond girl in the above photo, a 5 year old named Lily)... she's looking forward to doing a home made bird feeder demonstration at this year's county fair, and showing Pepper in next year's fair!
Last week I set aside our normal frantic evening schedule and carved time out for a park and pool visit with the girls. It ended up being a late night, but was totally worth it :)
Kaia's first time at the pool!
Sophia LOVED it!
The water was a tad chilly :) (but it was a hot evening, so that was ok!)
Kaia dipped her feet in, but mostly just played with Sophia's toys stash in the shade
On Saturday we spent the day in the Bemidji! Sophia, DJ and Ava took the paddle boat for a spin...
VERY serious piano player :)
Babies! Hudson is 11 months, and Kaia is 8 months
Kaia with her Aunt Laura and cousin Hudson
A big crew went for a bike trip around the lake
The bikers!
The rest of us loaded the boat with good and headed across the lake to meet the bikers for grilling and swimming at the State park
The three older cousins... getting too grown up :(
Sophia's favorite toy: a cup of water for sneak-attacking!
Kaia pretty much missed the State Park excursion. Too much fresh air on the boat!
The whole group!
Kaia got in a few minutes of beach time before we headed back
More paddle boating!
Travis, Lindsey and I took a crew to the park nextdoor later in the afternoon for some more swimming and sand
Kaia and Ava... Kaia loved the sand a little TOO much. She thought it was a yummy snack!
The three youngest girl cousins in the tub!
Yesterday Sophia decided to bust out the Halloween costumes... her ability to schlep a step stool around the house is starting to make things interesting!
We ended the evening with a windy but beautiful jaunt down the road. Margie was very excited to be out, and was beautiful as always :)
We took 1/3 of our menagerie down the road!
Margie running to greet Sunny in the pasture. Loving these long summer evenings! I noticed last night that we still had a little light at ELEVEN pm. And the birds woke me up with the first sunlight shortly after 5am!
