Mankato

Yesterday we went to Mankato and we had a great time. We started out the morning at Dunn Brothers for breakfast/lunch with Mike and Mary aka (gangy and Haha) and Granny and Jamps and Joe, Katie, Nono and Henry. Nora kept us entertained by learning to blow into a straw to blow bubbles...quite entertaining for Nora and the rest of us!
Then we went to Nora's house... Katie fed Henry and then papa played with him while he was awake... he is losing his old man look and looking more like a baby...

Nora and Henry and Papa took a nap and Joe and Katie cleaned up their basement... When she woke up she grabbed a mink... Now if you read this or know Nora she is a thumb sucker...so this was cute....
Nora took Papa off to read the news paper... They saw Gracie's shoes, Emma's shoes and some picnic stuff in the paper... They sang the alphabet with Elmo....Then it was time for Nora to go to Music Class... she wanted Papa to go with her so Daddy went too... mommy and Nana and Henry stayed home... here are some pictures from music class...







and finally some of the other cute pics of Henry...

We didn't

get to pick up the camper today... BECAUSE... the sales lady assumed we knew what improvements have been made between when we bought our old camper..... in 1983 and now... But we didn't ... our new camper has brakes... and a 7 something plug... our car has a 4 plug... so along with the new hitch stuff... we need to spend another 300 plus to get the wiring put in the car.... so we get our new camper tomorrow and all my fun money for the month of July is gone! oh well I still am excited about the camper... they also found two tears in the canvas which they patched for now and in the fall we bring it in and they will replace the canvas... that is a good thing...
Larry is handling the whole setback rather well... no temper tantrums or anything! Yea Larry...

Yesterday mom (Great-grandma) had an angiogram and they found that there are no more by-passes that they can do on her leg... there were no more blood clots tho and that was good news...
So that is my complaining for the day... oh yeah here is one more picture of Zoey from the slide...

Our new home...

away from home! We bought a new camper... here are some pictures of it... we pick it up on Thursday morning. It sleeps 8 and we can't wait to use it...







Friday when we went to buy it we had Liam and Logan with us... I did not take one picture because I was too busy having fun with the doodles... They were the ones who told us to buy the camper... they had lots of fun looking at it!

On Saturday we did stuff around the house ... well dad did...
On Sunday we went to Amy and Matt's for dinner...Papa took this picture of Zoey at the park... she likes to swing!

That is about all for now... I have to start taking pictures...

Father's day ...

We had another busy weekend. On Friday afternoon Amy and I went to get out nails done... mine are all ready for the 4th of July...

On Saturday we went Joe and Katie's ... it was our turn to babysit Zoey so we took her with us... I took lots of cute pictures... BUT for some reason my card in my camera would not work on my computer... then it wouldn't work on the camera either... so I lost all of my cute pictures of this cutie....


and this cutieSo... On to Sunday at Valleyfair... We met up a little later than we were supposed to but then we started right out with the carousel. Here is Logan looking at the ride... he was picking out a good horse to ride...


Zoey was happy to be held by daddy and watch what was going on.....
Liam was watching,.... he wasn't sure about riding a horse...


Jed and Larry were busy chatting...
Then we went to do some other rides... and then the water park!
I am having trouble uploading pictures... and videos again to day so I will finish tomorrow!

Another busy weekend!

We had a busy weekend... Larry worked on Saturday but I got to see Nora, Joe, Jed and Jeff... I also got to see Jed's new hat... a graduation gift from Joe Katie Nora and Henry. here is a picture of that... He looks pretty cool in his new hat...

After that Jed went home and Jeff and Joe went to the Twins game. Nora stayed with me where we ate hot dogs, played outside 'til' it rained, took a tubbie and played with toys... we had lots of fun! Before Jed left he got out the guitar and Nara played a little duet with him... here she is helping him tune the guitar.
