Where have we been?

I gave my cousin Lisa's new husband a bad time about not keeping their blog updated and he reminded me that my blog is still stuck on "tada." We have been super busy this past month. In early July we headed to the Bemidji area and spent some time at a resort. While there, we met up with one of my favorite people in this world, my friend Ingrid, her son, and some of Ingrid's family. After a few days "up north" we headed down to the Taylors Falls area and spent some time on the St Croix. My brother Troy met up with us on our last day of vacation and we spent a peaceful (well - except for when I yelled at Paul for steering us in the wrong direction) 3 hours canoeing down the St Croix.

After vacation we were busy throwing together a small celebration for Amelia's 3rd birthday. Mixed in with all of this were swimming lessons for both of the kids and football camp for Tyler. Then is was on to my cousin Lisa's wedding (which was a beautiful and fun filled affair). We finished off the month at the County Fair, well the kids and I did. Paul was busy at church with day camp, a hog roast and golf outing. Tyler scored big time at the fair and won 8 blue ribbons, one red, one grand champions, 2 reserve grand champions and 2 honorable mentions. Needless to say, this means we will be heading up to the state fair later this month.

Here are some pictures to show you what we've been up to this past month. Enjoy!
