"I scream" for Ice Cream!!!

St. Paul...a little vaca from our summer vacation!

We went to Grandma Jeans house in St. Paul! Went to the zoo, played with Skip and Marit and enjoyed Grandmas house.

Stop and enjoy Gods creations...

How Great Thou Art

When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee; How great Thou art!
How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

One of my favorite songs goes along well with this beautiful Prairie Rose Gretchen and I saw on our last walk...

The Gman stays busy as always!

 Artist hard at work...

Caught my first walleye all by myself!

What Gretchen's been doing so far this summer...

 Relaxing at the lake...

 Hanging with mommy!

 Planting flowers at Grandpas.

Playing tennis with Hatti!

The crew is complete...

 Spencer finally came and the Brenden clan of kids was complete! They had so much fun at the lake, kept busy by...boating, fishing, tubing, swinging, and spoiling Grandpa on his birthday!!!

Sisters, and little gretchy girl...

Its so fun to have everyone home! Off to spend a few days at the lake together and celebrate Grandpas birthday.

 We are just missing Paul and Liz and we would be complete...

Summer is off to a great start...

Mommy and Gretchen sporting green dresses.

 Swinging always makes us smile!

 Life is great!

 Slip and slide!

Reunited at last. The boys and auntie are back from Hong Kong and they have a lot to catch up on.
