Summer nights are magical!

We enjoyed some of our last summer night's with friends at an outdoor concert in Hudson.

Bike Riding Success

Sometimes these kids take on huge bike riding accomplishments! This time they road all the way to the library and back racking up about 10 miles in the process.

And sometimes Kyler hitches a ride and decides to just catch up on some reading.

We don't always have decent weather in the spring in Minnesota, so whenever we do have a good spring, it's quite a delight! One night, Dave took advantage of exploring with the two littles. They discovered this little lake over in Richfield one night and loved exploring the wildlife.

We love it here!

This dude is chillin' in his Hawaiian onesie and his sister's glasses.

"Sledding" in August is the best!

Northern adventure

While we were up North, we tried to experience as much of it as we could.

We had to continue our family tradition of cartwheels in front of monuments. This is Paul Bunyon and his Big Blue Ox.

We also went to Itasca State Park and saw where the Mississippi River starts.

And crossed the Mississippi River while it's still narrow!

Our first vacation with our family of seven!

The kids and Dave got brave and climbed a really tall, old fire tower. It was creaky and so scary!

But so beautiful!

Cranky Sawyer needed a break from the long drive home. As soon as we got him out, he was so happy in Daddy's arms. Unfortunately, he's not a fan of his car seat.
