Sharing a bunch of pictures of both of the kids today from the first half of Summer.
Our annual summer bowling afternoon. None of us are any good but you still try anyways.
A couple of pictures from belt testing at the beginning of June. She earned her blue stripe. She is two belts behind her brother. That's what happens when you are in junior high and have sports every night.
she hasn't gone to the Medford pool too much. Here is from the first time she went this year with her friend Hannah.
One of the camps she did this summer is called scrubs camp. It is a medical field based camp and they get to wear a scrub stop during it. They actually keep their top and she is leaving it at the cabin. She wouldn't wear it anywhere else but who cares if she's just hanging around up north where nobody knows her plus she says it is super comfy.
Playing at Lone Lake Beach in Aiken.
Shooting her BB gun. She also got to shoot A's airsoft rifle.
Playing with bubbles outside the cabin.
Riding a bike at the pump track and then playing pinball
she attended 4-H Camp this year. This year it was at Camp Victory which was a new location torrid. her brother was also there but the teen & Youth camps had their own tracks and really only saw each other in passing for meals.
Here she is being presented with her blue stripe at class.
We bought butterfly kits this summer again but due to the timing of when they emerged and our trip to the cabin we had to let them go right away this year.
this is her sixth year completing this Northfield kids triathlon. Our summer show at the Guthrie was "Guys and Dolls" it was really good. Choreography and costumes were awesome.
some photos of her at throwers Camp. They worked on both shot put and discus but I was only there for a while at the end to take pictures of shot. It was at the same college that she has gone to swim camp. She still keeps saying she wants to go to school there when she gets older.
Being up at the cabin means we try to get out on two different lakes in different ways. Sometimes it's a boat or a kayak or swimming or on our new rubber dockie.
Spent an afternoon at the Northland arboretum in Brainerd with both kids so they could learn more about a couple trees they are learning about for a project for the fair for 4-H.
I totally forgot to mention tubing when I was mentioning all the ways we get onto likes. This is big Mable, she's our newest too. And she's lots of fun. Wasn't sure if Andy was going to be able to dump the kids on this one but he found a way. this one can be hooked up where they can be kneeling are standing like they are shown here or turn it around and they can be seated. Being the old lady that I am I prefer the seated way when I ride with them.
one of Isabel's adventure choices was to go white water rafting in Duluth with me again. next year her brother is old enough to go so it might be the three of us or perhaps all four we'll go. We'll see.
Here she is with one of the sparklers before we set off all the good fireworks later on. While she and I white water raft the boys went to Wisconsin to purchase some fireworks.
We had a concert to go to this summer. It was Ariana grande. We were actually supposed to see her in April but then she was asked to play at Coachella and rescheduled a couple of her concerts and one of them was the one to saint Paul so it ended up being a summer concert for us.
another fun thing we did was check out seaquest and went snorkeling with The Stingrays. She thought that was really awesome and love touching the Stingrays and I think she became best friends with one of the pufferfish. She said she really wants to do this again and perhaps we could bring her for her birthday.
So far she is only gone to the faribault water park once this summer but we'll get there a few more times as I bought a book of passes this year. Mixing things up a little bit this year with what we have typically done and didn't buy some memberships we normally would in favor of trying a bunch of different things.
she's decided to take advantage of the tent that was set up that Henry and his friend didn't use. Glad someone used it. I bought this huge new tent to use when I take the boy camping and this was the first time we set it up. I wanted to set it up at home to see how hard it was before we actually take it on the road.
This past weekend we went to the Saints game. She's not really into baseball but her brother plays and her dad likes to watch sports, she likes to go along for the snacks. :-)
