Weekend at Bowstring

With Erin working all weekend at the hospital and Noah enjoying an extra stay with his father, Rich decided to take Sarah, Lucas and Caleb north for a weekend at Roger and Gloria's house at Bowstring Lake. One of the highlights was a huge bonfire!

Lucas and Sarah pretend to drive grandpa's John Deere lawn tractor.


Grandpa (Ray Charles) gave the kids a long ride around the property. Around and around they went! Lucas and Caleb kept screaming "Floor it!" and Sarah just giggled.


The kids didn't have any fun at all. Can't you tell?

Duluth Air Show

On Saturday we drove to Duluth to see the annual airshow at Duluth International Airport. This year's big attraction was the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels flight team. Their jets were pretty noisy, so daddy bought Sarah some hearing protection so she wouldn't be too scared.

It started to rain during the Blue Angels' performance, and they had to cut it a bit short because of the cloud cover. The rain forced Sarah, Lucas and Caleb to take cover under the canopy of Sarah's wagon.


Back at grandma and grandpa's house, Sarah persuaded daddy and Gus to take a "nap" on the floor with her. So we did.


Later, the sleep fairy caught up to Sarah while she watched the Noggin channel.

Happy Fourth!


Happy Fourth of July, family, friends and America!


With the boys at their father's this week, Sarah, mommy and daddy spent the afternoon and evening together for the Fourth of July. We drove eight miles over to Blaine for that city's fireworks display.


Blaine did a good job!


Earlier Friday, Sarah got hold of a washable blue marker while mom and dad watched a movie. She proceeded to tattoo her belly, arms and legs, and even gave her doll a mustache and one new eyebrow!
