Weekend at Bowstring

Our entire family spent last weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Gordon's cabin on Bowstring Lake. Even though the lake is still low, we managed to spend quite a bit of time on the boat! Sarah received her very first boat ride on Saturday the 28th, and she loved it!


Another first, this one for Noah. He popped up on waterskis on his very first attempt, and from that moment on, that's all he wanted to do all weekend! Sorry for burning most of the gas out of your boat, Grandpa!


Lucas and Gus are good buddies.



We spent part of Saturday in Grand Rapids, wandering around the swap meet there and looking at lots of classic cars. Sarah watched it all from her stroller, with a sucker in her mouth.

Sarah the Social Butterfly

Sarah got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Gordon over this past weekend, and on Monday night they took her to a reunion at her great-aunt Sue and great-uncle Gary's cabin near Remer, MN. Here Sarah and her Grandma Wynne watch her cousins Peyton and Zane play in the sandbox.

Aunt Libby feeds Sarah a snack. Mmmm-mmmm good!


Sarah is pushing the envelope on height! At her 15-month checkup last month, she stood 33 inches tall and is in the 98th percentile for height.

Erin's 20-year reunion

We drove to Jamestown a couple of weekends ago for the festivities surrounding Erin's 20-year class reunion, and Rich finally got to meet many of Erin's friends from her high school days. Here, Robyn, Lara, Sonja, Erin and Rich hang out at The Brass Rail.



If only we had met in high school...


Classmates brought their children to the family picnic on Sunday, and Erin rented an inflatable jumping gym for the kids to play in. Here, it looks like she's breaking up a fight between Sarah and another kid! On the right, Rich eagerly waits for his turn. :)
