Visits + Horse Races

Last weekend Shelly and Lester came for a visit. The girls were so excited to have them come stay. We all had a lot of laughs together, as usual. Clara showed Shel how to draw a cat. Grandpa and Grandma Dietz were at the lake all during the week last week as well as the Weckerlys for a couple of those days. Brynn and Clara got to go stay for a bit too. The beach at Detroit Lakes.

Here are some pics that she's taken with her phone from her time there so far as well as some pics that the staff has sent the parents.  This one's my fav. So cute. :-) The red panda is so adorable. He looks so cuddly though I'm sure he's n
