Anniversary Date Night and Pool Time

Last Sunday after we got back from Cousin Camp, Grandpa Kim stopped by for dinner on his way home from the lake. The girls sucked him into a card game after dinner.

The weather has been great for pool time this past week.

On Wednesday the girls went to stay with Grandpa and Grandma Froemming at the lake for a few days. I guess Brynn complimented the neighbor guy on his bib overalls, so he went shopping in Fergus and outfitted them with their own! Haha. I couldn't stop laughing at this pic Grandma Holly sent me.

While Brynn and Clara were gone, we decided to make a go of a night out on the town to celebrate our wedding anniversary which was on June 26th.

We first went out to eat at Rustica downtown. We hadn't been there before except for when it was a different restaurant altogether under different ownership. It was really good.

After we ate, we tooled around Island Park for a bit. We hadn't really been down there much before and it's a pretty nice, well-known park in Fargo. In front of the tennis courts they had these odd concrete bleachers. I had terrible shoes on and didn't want to go up that high to the top, so I let Dana go on up ahead and check it out.

Safe at the bottom!

I had seen on Facebook that one of the local pizza places, Rhombus Guys, shows movies outside on their rooftop every Friday night at 10:00. So, we found ourselves up there with a yum pizza and 'Indiana Jones' for the movie.

We had a good view from up there of the Bank of the West building where I interned when I was in college.

Yesterday Dana ran to the lake to bring the girls home. It was great to have them back!

Brynn's neighborhood friend stopped by to play for a bit and they worked on a sidewalk beautification project. :-)

Lunch outside today.

Brynn and I made s'mores bars. Delish!

More pool time. Our friends Amanda and Adria came over to play this afternoon and Adria's daddy joined us for supper later. It's so funny to watch them play together.

Clara had a nice, long nap this afternoon, but she was looked pretty haggard by the end of the night tonight...she was dirty, played-out and had lost her shirt to a spilled milk incident.

Still had enough left in her for some strawberries before bath and bed, though. Brynn is back on a bracelet loom kick.

Always watching what big sissy is doing.

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!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
