Up NORTH!

My how time flies..... but here are a few pictures of our trip to Minnesota to watch the girls in the dance recital.  I was so impressed with their dancing --  such talented girls indeed! Not sure where that comes from== must be Mommy for sure!

Then, we have kinda been toying with the idea of purchasing a cabin up north - Bruce and I love the water and fishing.... and we could get away from the hot summer days.  So off we went to look at one -

but.... the interior was less than impressive... and had some major structural issues despite the beauty of the exterior.

The kids played a little baseball and we enjoyed playing out on their new deck!  It was so pretty... and Shawn and Dad got in a little pouring of cement as well. Carrie and I enjoyed Mother's Day and went to Alexandria to watch Mom's Night Out!  I don't know when I have laughed so hard.... it was hilarious!

And we went fishing!  Shawn provided the boat, poles, and the kids -- the entertainment... Carrie provided the food for our picnic! It was such a beautiful setting on the lake and I got to spy a beautiful bald eagle in her nest!  Could of been the dad in the nest since they take turns sitting on the eggs!  And Bruce and I caught our first pike!  Never got mine in the boat though.... but we did get a lot of exploring done as well!

Thanks Shawn & Carrie! We can't wait to come back this summer for a little baseball with K-Man playing!
