Summer Updates

Time flies when you're having fun!
Piper had her first visit from the tooth fairy. The fairy left her $1 and sugarless gum. Apparently our fairy is a little more frugal than others in the neighborhood. Piper's friends were all "I got $3 and I got $5". Seriously - for a tooth?!?!?!

They have been taking swimming lessons and swimming at the neighbor's pool A LOT. At the beginning of the summer they wanted life jackets, floaters, inner tubes, goggles and towels at hand to dry their faces in case someone near by was actually having fun and accidentally splashed them!!! Fast forward three weeks, and now we can't get them out of the pool. They are doing cannon balls, jack knives and can openers (don't ask). They are swimming underwater and having the time of their lives!!

We went camping with some good friends in mid June. This was our first camping trip as a family. It was super fun! We went to Kiesler's in Waseca, MN. It is a great family friendly campground with lots of activities for kids. One night they had a hula hoop contest and dance party for the kids. The girls are now hooked hula hoopin' and hula everywhere. In the living room while watching tv, down the street while walking to a friend's house, and all the girls in the neighborhood hula too. You can find groups of girls in yards hula hoopin all hours of the day. They can hula on one foot while clapping, down to their knees and back up, walking forwards and back...it's crazy. And the funniest is watching us moms and dads trying to hula...not too pretty!

We have also had a visit from Trent's dad and a visit from Trent's brother Lance and our niece and nephew, Jordon and Jake. Our niece Kiersten (Lances's oldest) and her little girl Kierah will be visiting us in a couple weeks! Minnesota is a great place to visit in the summer!!!

We are getting ready to head north for a long weekend, so I will post photos and write updates in a week or so.

Peace, love and joy!!!!!
