Swan Lake 2013

Today we returned from our week-long annual vacation at Swan Lake Resort near Fergus Falls. We had great weather this year and lots of fun again. A big thank you to Dana's parents for lending us their camper! 

We are headed off to the Red River Valley Fair this afternoon. We packed up early at the lake, as Dana needed to go in to work this afternoon. 


Playing at the playground at the resort.



Brynn LOVED jet skiing again this year.
And now she prefers Daddy for a riding partner, as he goes fast!










On Monday morning we rented a pontoon on the resort and took it out for lunch and some fishing. We had pretty good luck fishing which was fun.




Giving the fish the stink eye.


The resort office had ice cream treats so we had one every day!











Thanks for the pic, Grandma Holly. Daddy said the sun was in his eyes,
but I think he just didn't want to cooperate for a picture. :-)


Last night Dana's parents and grandparents were able to come for the afternoon to swim and have dinner with us. We rented the pontoon again and went out for a stroll around the lake and some more fishing.


Brynn wrote a map so Dad would know where to go on the lake.



This year Brynn didn't really want the fish to get close to her at all. I thought she was either going to pull my dress down or fall over the edge of the boat trying to get away from that fish. She did catch this one herself.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...
