Agate Lake Vacation

We returned on Saturday from a week at Agate Lake. It was awesome! I love just sitting and listening to the lake, dipping my toes in, getting some sun and watching the girls have a GREAT time playing in the water and sand. My brother Marc spend the whole week with us- which is a first.....he actually enjoyed a week's vacation. Good for you Marc!!! We are back in Lakeville now trying to stay cool. Summer's heat and humidity are here to stay, at least for this week. That is why I love air conditioning!!! Ahhhhh....... You can view more pictures from our week at Agate Lake on our Facebook page.... Enjoy!

Rainy Day Fun

A few days ago the girls and I spent the whole day inside- it was raining and thunderstorming. So we dug out their little pop up tent and did puzzles. It's not the same as running around outside, but they enjoyed it just the same. We are excited because today we are heading north to Agate Lake near Deerwood, MN. We rent a cabin there and the girls can hardly wait to get "to the cabin". Annika was determined that last night we were leaving. She actually had a little meltdown and started crying, "Go to the cabin.....car ride.....now.....". I think they both will be VERY happy to get there and see Uncle Marc and Grandma and Grandpa. We will enjoy lots of swimming, more swimming, feeding the fishies, looking for frogs and quiet afternoons in the adirondack chairs looking at the lake (while the girls are napping, of course...) I will post pictures when we get back. Off we go for some relaxation and sun.....

Summer is in full swing.....

The whole family is now enjoying summer vacation! As of the fourth of July we have been busy traveling up north, doing home improvement projects and getting ready to head to our cabin rental on Agate Lake. Who knew how fast summer could actually go! As far of the home improvement projects.... two new ceiling fans, new blinds in our bedroom (finally!) and some new decorating of course, have kept us busy. Jason was growing especially frustrated yesterday with the girl's ceiling fan. He said out loud, "I am SO MAD!" Then the funniest thing happened, Annika looked up at him and said, "No mad daddy, daddy happy!" How can you not smile and laugh at such a cute little girl saying that! Jason did get to relax after the ceiling fan fun.... in front of his new flat screen TV. Yes, he finally broke down and bought one. Starting tomorrow, with the help of our cable guy, he will be watching the British Open this weekend in HD! Aren't you so excited??????
