And Summer 2012 Flew By...

Here is a whirlwind tour of our summer starting in June with:

Our trip to pick strawberries with grandma & grandpa - it was a hot day, but very productive!


We also watched Uncle Mike & Shire go skydiving - everyone was SO brave.  Amelie cannot wait to take her turn jumping out of an airplane...





Then Craig & I went to Lutsen for a week while Amelie stayed with the grandparents. Craig had fun fishing on Superior, while I enjoyed laying by the pool and eating his bounty!


Even though June was busy, we were sure to play a lot and take many trips to the park.



Then when July rolled around, we didn't stop.  First, we celebrated the Fourth of July with family!


We had our favorite friends sleepover for the first time!


We helped celebrate a new friends baptism (yay, Ellie)!  It was a bonus that we played near a pool while celebrating...


Hit up a Twins game with grandma & grandpa (and clearly had NO fun at all)!


Then we ended the month in WI with our postponed Fourth of July cabin trip - some of our best summer fun happens here!



August came quickly and we chilled out a bit.  We explored our backyard and played outside even more!


A momentous occasion in August came when Amelie's request of seeing a new state came true!  Our favorite friends Megan, Eric, & Oscar took a road-trip with us to Chicago.  It was an amazingly fun weekend with only one little snag; Oscar took a fall and needed stitches on our first day in the city.  Amelie learned a valuable lesson from brave Oscar, a little blood and an ER visit shouldn't stop us from having fun!  After Oscar was all fixed up, we explored the city together...





Then we had a fun day at the MN State Fair with grandma & grandpa!




Finally, Amelie started back up at Montessori this week!  She will be joining their kindergarten class part-time in January after she turns five-years old.

Craig & Amelie are very excited to start their winter adventures too; they put together their snowboard gear in the living room one night last week.  Me, on the other hand, I am going to hold on to every last drop of summer...
