Midwest Road Trip!!

We took a seven day road trip through
Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Plus, spent time at three of the four Great Lakes;
Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Lake Superior
I do not know where she learned the poses!! :)
First night we were suppose to bike a 1/2 mile
into a yurt at the Porcupine Mountains.
Adi & Tony went in with the first load....
when they came out they had been attacked by mud and mesquito's.
That night we stayed in a hotel.
Picture above of the good shoe.
Wish I would have taken a picture when they came out.
But, I think I would have been in a little trouble.

Sports Season



Adi is playing coach pitch baseball.
There was not enough girls to have a softball team for her age group.
But, she definately brings style to the game with the pink cleats!!





 Co-ed Soccer for both.

Kietan did not want to play t-ball,
The only thing he wanted to play was SOCCER.

Adi's favorite position....GOALIE.

Two kids after daddy's heart!!


Preschool Graduation

Kietan graduated from Preschool twice.
He was beaming with pride that he was going to Kindergarten!!
Mom on the other hand was a little sad....no more preschoolers.
