Day 1 - Lake Hubert

I took 312 pictures in the past week so here goes. I think the most logical way to do this is to try to do a day-by-day best pics snapshot. Here is Day 1 in Nisswa. This kinda sums up the weather we had there and what the fishing was like for the whole trip. Most days we played a little on the beach then it would rain and then sometimes we had a little more time on the beach later. Sometimes the rain was at night so we got more beach time...but overall the weather was decent enough.

As for the fishing...a little slow this year, but the clams were biting;) That's not to say we didn't catch fish and a few big ones...just not like past years!

Ok, Get Ready...

We just got home from Nisswa today and you're in for a LOT of pictures in the next week or two. I took over 300 shots so as soon as they all download and I get them organized, look out! Here they come!

TIGF - Nisswa Style!

We're almost done with our trip by now, we'll be home very soon, but this week I'm thankful for family trips to the lake. I won't know until after you read this how it went with 4 kids under the age of 3 but I know for sure I will have enjoyed myself! Shopping, fishing, turtle races and mini golf are all part of the plan so even if it's chaos it will be great. I'm only sad that this might be our last time at Lake Hubert. We are outgrowing the house and they are kinda phasing out renting the place we normally stay at so hopefully we can find SOME place that will compare! GREAT memories there!!

Trips to the Park

I know I have posted about Josh taking Riley to the park on nights that I work before, but he took some really great shots the last time he took her. This was a park that is a lot farther from our house, but it's kinda his special park to play with her at...he jogs there and she rides in the "buggy" and they play before he jogs back.

(Don't worry, Linda, I'll get these on snapfish as soon as I can.)

More Pics from Mike and Pat's Visit

I think i'm almost all caught up now. These are the tail end of the pictures from when my aunt and uncle were in town. I think they were amazed at how bubbles can make kids SCREAM!!!

Softball Break in the Action

Today is Josh's last game for his Eagan League and Monday is the last of the regular season for Booyah! Team...of course there's still Fall ball and Duck Soup on the horizon, but at least there will be a few nights that w can call our own again. Hopefully the blogging will stay regular from now on! I forgot the camera so no pics of the season finale though...

I do have some pics of our play date with Jess and Noah on Friday though...

A Visit From the South

Again, I'm running about a week behind, so bear with me...Last weekend my aunt and uncle from Arizona headed North to escape the 115+ heat in the desert! Well, actually they had planned to come over the 4th, but that trip had to be rescheduled last-minute. We had the fam over for dinner at my parent's house so they could meet all the kids and we could spend some quality play time on the deck.
