Popsicles, Flowers & Rosaries...Oh My!

This picture is sooo "Gavy"! It shows our cute, smiley, funny, unpredicatable little boy who loves to soak up each experience. What a quality little guy!

Yes, this one blog post has all 3 things....popsicles, flowers and rosaries. A little odd, maybe, but you never know what kinds of moments you will catch when periodically taking pictures of 2 toddlers. Oh, we are never bored with our 2 monkeys!

2 County Fairs & A Parade

This summer we went to The Dakota County Fair and The Carver County Fair. Every 5 years there is also a parade in Waconia on the last day of the fair so we were able to go to that too! Here are some pictures with the kids at the DCF....



Sophia having fun looking at the animals.

Soph peeking at the sheep.

Daddy and the kids eating a 4H dinner....

Gavy loved the 4H vanilla malt...yummy.

A few days later, we went to Waconia and went to Nana and Papa Berger's home before going to the fair. Here Papa Jim is playing the guitar for the kids...they thought that was pretty cool:)

Nana Sandy and Sophia.
