The Little Mermaid

In August, Sandy took all the Berger ladies (minus Hattie because she is just a bit too young yet) to The Little Mermaid that was playing at The Chanhassen Dinner Theater. We had dinner there and then watched the play which was FANTASTIC!  It was such a fun girls night out!

My girl and I all dressed up and ready to go out.

Sophie Loses Her 1st Tooth!

Sophia lost her first tooth the last week of August, one week before school started.  She had been waiting and waiting for this day!  You know, all of her friends had lost at least 2 teeth already and so she was quite worried about it:) 



That is one proud girl!

Greyson @ 9 Months

 Greyson was 9 months on August 21st.  He is one adorably curious little guy!
He makes us all smile and laugh each and every day...so blessed that we have him in our lives.
10 things about Grey @ 9 months old:
1. He crawls everywhere!
2. He loves to pull-up and stand next to anything and everything.
3. He doesn't like to drink his milk from a bottle ( he never really has)
4. He loves all baby food and eating in general.
5. He has his 2 bottom teeth and 4 are coming in on top.
6. He loves to be around his family.
7. He LOVES to laugh and smile!
8. He is still a good sleeper (has been sleeping through the night since 2 months old)
9.  He LOVES bath time.
10. He likes to do anything outside, go for walks/stroller rides, swing and play in the grass.


 

 My sweet and smiley guy!

 This one melts my heart:)

 That is his curious face....

 Tasting grass...

 Funny faces...

 Making loud noises:)

 Love this.



 Now tasting mulch...for some reason he always wants to put mulch in his mouth.


 We have a little monkey on our hands!  He loves to move, crawl over and climb anything!



 We love our Grey Baby!

Fair Hills Resort Wrap Up

 
Our last day at Fair Hills left us feeling a little sad.  We had such a wonderful and jam-packed week of fun things to do, gorgeous weather and wonderful times with a lot of great people. 
 We will never forget our week at Fair Hills and want to thank Jim and Sandy so very much for making it happen.  It was an amazing vacation!
 

 
Here are some pictures from the grounds of Fair Hills....

Fair Hills Resort Part 3

 We had so many great activities to do at Fair Hills!  The kids took golf lessons twice as well as tennis lessons twice.  I just loved watching them learn a new skill....they worked hard and were very determined:)
Here is Gav, the golfer.

 Sophia, the golfer.

The 4 Berger cousins at golf lessons.
 
 Grey baby explored the area while the kids golfed.


  
 The kids sure did a lot of swimming throughout the week in the big pool, hot tub and lake.
Susie and I took a couple of yoga classes.  The 1st time we did it right on the dock which was great but then the 2nd time (which was even better!) we were on the Fair Hills cruiser out on Pelican Lake.  That was a great experience to say the least!  The relaxing scenery with the cool lake breeze blowing through your hair as we did yoga was....heavenly:)

  
 Sophia gets a hand walking a tight rope!  I actually did it as well and needed 2 people to help!  It is NOT easy!


 The kids one evening got to go out on a boat cruise for a couple hours while the adults had a social hour.  How fun!
Chase, Owen, Sophia and Gavin.



 
 During our adult social hour, Jim got up and played guitar with the "live music"...

  
Jeff also played with them and sang a song on his own as well!
 
As we were watching one of the golf events, Grey fell asleep on my shoulder....so sweet.  Just loved this moment:)
 
Me and my sweet baby.
 
 Sophia at her 2nd golf lesson.

Fair Hills had a talent show and Sophia was dead set on doing an act herself....showing off her gymnastics!
Here she is all ready to show off her talent!
 
Look at those handstands!
 
  

 The 4-8 age group, on stage at the talent show, sang 2 songs.  It was too cute!

 Sophia's turn on stage!  She did so good but was quite nervous before going on.   I went up with her and sat in the corner of the stage.  We had come with up with a very brief little show just that afternoon when they had tryouts.  We were very proud of our little girl!
Right after the she got off stage, she says to me, " I want to do it again!"


The Berger babies, Hattie and Grey, hanging out together.

Sweet Grey.


The Berger golf scramble team got 2nd!  Nice job Berger's!

Sophia is here dancing with our server (that we had at our table in the dining room for every meal) during one of the last days.  Our server, Justina, is from Lithuania and here for a summer work exchange program.  She was so sweet and very patient with our crazy busy table:)

There was a staff concert on the last night and it was really a lot of fun!  Here is big sis with her little brother.
