More Summer Fun

The weekend after the 4th, we went to our friends' Karl Oscar Days BBQ. Elsa went tubing behind the boat for the first time and loved it! L to R: Elsa, Sheri, Ashley.


We met Grandma and Grandpa E at South Center Lake and took a boat ride with them. The kids love to go FAST!


Tim has been busy at the land nearly every night for the past month. We're making a retaining wall out of the foundation from the old barn that fell down. He has to pry the stones out of the rubble with a crowbar, one by one, like this:


Here's Tim and his collection of stones so far! It's hard to believe we still need more.


Cousins! Lila, Avery, and Elsa at my birthday pool party.


Our niece Avery, 8 months old. Cutie!


A couple weekends ago we took the kids to the Chisago County Fair. The kids saw their first Demolition Derby and had a great time, despite the insane heat. Elsa's favorite thing was the rides, and Lila loved the cows and horses in the animal barn.
