Weekend with Tante

We were so happy to have Tante come and spend the weekend with us. We all had some good quality girl time before Tante's big day :)


We had to make a stop at the Gathering Grounds for lunch and Ma's Little Red Barn for ice cream.

Picking her green tomatoes.

A little messy at the church festival.

Trying to win a prize at the duck game..."quack, quack, quack."

We love you, Tante! Come back soon!

Mini Vacation

With summer soon coming to an end, we decided to take a mini vacation to Brainerd. Our first stop was to Paul Bunyan Land (which I don't think has changed since Mommy and Daddy had been there as kids) and then we spent the rest of the day at the water park at our hotel.

Babe the blue ox.

Paul Bunyan even knew Greta's name!

A train ride around the park.

So sad to be stuck in jail :(

Relaxing on the lazy river.

Trying not to get wet.

Down the slide.

And finally, Greta's favorite part of the trip...walking Maggie in the hotel room :)

I Like Bugs!

Greta has been fascinated with bugs lately. We can only hope she hasn't had a taste of one yet.

A giant mosquito to try to catch on the window.

'Smore' Please

It just wouldn't be summer without smores.

Greta and all her ingredients.

Busy roasting her marshmallow.

First bite.

Yum! Yum!
