Vacation Part 1



Vacation started with a bike ride to the Blueberry Festival. Ida had her first pony ride. Henrik wanted to try too, but quickly realized he was a bit too small to stay on the pony by himself. After a bit of a panic when it looked like he was going to fall off, his ride was cut short.


On to a trip to Grandma and Grandpa L's. The kids enjoyed feeding bread to the fish from the dock . . .

and going for a ride on the pontoon boat.


Henrik loved driving and honking the horn.


Feeding more fish.

Cruising the canal with dad.

Grandpa took us out to a nice swimming hole. Henrik couldn't get enough. If dad was in the water, Henrik was with him.

A little early birthday cake for mom, courtesy of Grandma. Delicious!!! Ida proudly told everyone who would listen that mom was three years old.

After the kids went to bed we whipped out the Wii. Chad was set on breaking all of the records. Meanwhile, Suzanne simply was the entertainment for the evening. In all fairness, Chad had played before (Suzanne hadn't) and Wii probably wasn't meant to be played the first time after having had a few beers.

Chad and Suzanne left the kids at Grandma and Grandpa's for a few days to go to Chicago--Chad's birthday gift to Suzanne (a fantastic gift!!). Cousins Zoe & Quinn (and uncle Dave) came to visit.

Grandma set up a special table for blowing bubbles.
