This past Thursday Dana and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Those first ten years sure have gone by fast. And what an exciting year it is shaping up to be...celebrating our 10th anniversary and soon after welcoming the addition of our second child. This first decade has been filled with so many great memories and blessings, we are both looking forward to the decades to come.
This picture was one of my favorites from our wedding day, taken by our good friend, Roger.
We went out to eat at Maxwell's in West Fargo. It was our first experience there, and we were impressed. They had a live band playing and the food and service were great. The manager even felt compelled to help me up out of our booth...I must have looked like I was struggling. :-) They even gave us a free dessert since it was our anniversary. Then we went out to a movie afterward.

This past week at HopeKids Summer Camp was Tie-Dye week! Brynn said this was her favorite week so far, which did not surprise me since she is so into art. They made tie-dye shirts and a color crayon project. I have seen that crayon project on Pinterest before, so it was neat to see it in person!
We continued on our anniversary celebration with Brynn this weekend. Holly and Kevin were on their annual motorcycle trip with their riding group, and let us stay at the their cabin for the weekend. Thanks, guys! We had a great weekend, despite the intermittent rain.

| We started off the weekend at Zorbaz. Yum. |
Warning: picture overload on the strawberry fields. What a fun experience! Not very far from the cabin is a pick-your-own strawberry farm (Herzog Berries). We drove past it on our way back from Zorbaz on Friday and thought it would be fun to check it out Saturday morning. We were so pokey getting ready the next day, though, we only had an hour before the picking time was done, and then it had just started to sprinkle as we were getting in the car. We pressed on, though, and it did stop raining in the midst of the picking. We had to hike (mom huffed and puffed) up a hill to get to the strawberries. Brynn and Dana did most of the picking while I took pics...lots of pics. :-) We filled up an ice cream pail of delicious strawberries; the best we ever tasted.

| The previous cabin owners left their water trampoline, so Daddy got that set up this weekend. Pretty cool. |
We had set out in the pontoon to go fishing on Saturday after supper, but it was too windy and the boat wouldn't stay in one spot, and it looked like rain again. So, Brynn and Daddy opted to fish from the dock. They caught a few, but no keepers.

Next to the strawberry farm is a Lutheran Church that we thought we'd attend this morning....that is until no one crawled out of bed until almost 10:00, and the service started at 10:30. Oops.
