Memorial Weekend

Before I get to our Memorial Weekend activities, I first have to post a pic that I had forgotten previously. This was Brynn on the last day of school and Camp Skeeter with her dirt cup.



Anyway, we hung around home part of this past weekend and were at Dead Lake on Sunday and Monday which were the best days out of the weekend to be at the lake!

Daddy was working on some projects on Saturday, so naturally Clara was helping out.





We also attended one of my cousin's sons grad party on Saturday. My parents had cousin Elise with them for the weekend, so she and Brynn got to play together.



On Sunday we attended a friend of the family's 80th birthday party in Fergus. These other two munchkins below are great-grandkids of the birthday gal and also the daughters of one of  Dana's oldest childhood friends. Clara looks like her piggy tails are going to fly off in the wind. Ha.


It was a nice evening for a pontoon ride on Sunday. Clara loved seeing all the boats on the water and kept waving furiously at each one. 







Swinging on the big kid swing which apparently is only for little big kids as I broke it the next day when I was swinging on it with Clara. :-(




Time for s'mores!









We enjoyed the beautiful weather on Monday!







On Tuesday Brynn had her first day of the HopeKids Summer Camp. She is off to a great start and loving it so far! I'm so glad, as I know she usually prefers to be at home as much as possible. But they started the first week off with a theme that she really is enjoying which is about recycling. She loves to make treasures from trash which is precisely what they did in the below picture. They made homemade paper today and planted some grass out in the church yard. Her good friend Rosha is also attending this summer, so that helps too!



Clara loves to 'do hair' with this play set. She let Brynn play beauty shop on her tonight. Clara is always so patient when getting her hair done. It is always so cute to see them playing together.

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...
