Fourth of July Week 2024

I think I missed posting this photo earlier, but on our way out to Lake Park, we first stopped at this Black Cat Bakery in Moorhead to check it out. I had put it on our summer bucket list. We picked up some yummy treats.

I was on a bike ride one evening and was rushing to get back as it looked like some weather coming in.

Brynn and Hubert road tripped to Dead Lake and visited with Grandpa and Grandma Froemming and did some fishing.

We spent the Fourth and Fifth at Tamarac with the Weckerly side. We had such a fun time.

I tried making some festive drinks for Tessa and me and they didn't quite turn out as I had hoped. Sorry, Tessa!

Uncle Dana took the kids back to Fargo to load up on fireworks and they put on a very nice show with what they got.

Brynn and Hubert were able to come out on the Fifth with us, which was an even nicer day for being on the water.

We had a good game of Nerts going and Zorbaz for dinner.

And then back out for more swimming...

We squeezed in the annual photo of auntie Tessa, Clara and Prairie. Clara and Prairie sure seem older this year especially as they both turn 10 next month.

On Saturday we had the Froemming get-together at Dead Lake. It was a beautiful day until the monsoon struck, but we still all had a good time visiting with lots of good food.

Dana just can't help himself with this pose.

Fish and turtle fry!

Yay, what fun! That is a great picture of Brynn & Clara with their life jackets on. Love, love, love the picture with Clara & Prairie - can you send that to me? Looks like fun at Dead Lake, though I'm not sure about the turtle! :)

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...

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...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
