First Days of School (September 2014)

This year Ava is in 4K and is attending Montessori School.  Abby and Ethan are in preschool at St James.  As usual, we had our annual front porch photo shoot!

Crystal Lake Camping (August 2014)

Every year we go on an annual camping trip with my side of the family.  This year we went to Crystal Lake near Minocqua, WI and had a great time!  We did all the usual camping things...campfires, boating, swimming, ice cream, and everything in between.  I think we will be back! 

Big Rig Show (August 2014)

Just a few pictures from the "Big Rig Show" in Eau Claire.  Ethan loves all thing with wheels and the girls love to be out doing things so it was a fun evening minus losing Ava for a few minutes.  Notice there are no pictures of that!  We also stopped in to visit with our favorite little dude in Eau Claire, 2nd Cousin Carsen! 

Twin Cities Overnight (August 2014)

We decided to take the kids to the Cities for an overnight filled with fun.  It was a blast!  Some of the highlights include taking a ride on the train, eating at a food truck (Ethan's dream), swimming the night away in a fun hotel* where we had a poolside room, a late night ice cream run, Minnihaha Park, Como Zoo, and our kid's first time at our all time favorite, The Blue Door Pub.  What a great weekend!  We love the Cities and can't wait to go back again.
