Pottery Barn Delivery and State Fair

This past weekend we went down south to make a delivery of an outdoor table... both the car and the table made it in one piece... our payment for the delivery was to see this not yet famous blues harmonica player...she was in fine form...


Her youngest fan also enjoyed the show... he is too young to object!



She also showed off some of her money... one of her new favorite things to get...



alas, she thinks that money goes in to the piggy bank instead of the mall! I am sure her aunts (both Donohoe and Smentek) will straighten her out soon enough! And she is smart about getting that money.. Nana didn't bring any change but Papa did and she cleaned him out... then Daddy gave her some more... Later I asked her if should bring her something next time and she suggested "monies?"...along with the Elmo bandaids....
On Monday we went to the State Fair... with Jeff, Kirstin, Logan and Liam, Amy, Matt and Zoey. We had a great time and I lasted a lot longer than I might have... They let me get a cart! I am going to start walking or something so I am in better shape next year... but anyway here are some of the pictures from the fairThe Thrivent Kids area was a big hit... Logan kept building towers and Liam kept knocking them down...

Until Aunt Amy stood guard...




I took most of the pictures early in the day.... here is Zoey playing with the blocks

Liam also tried his hand at building but he was better at demolition...

Kirstin stopped for a minute to give Logan a hug... Logan loved the blocks so much he wasn't ready to move on...


here are the guys wearing their John Deere "Visors" not hats... Jeff asked Liam about his hat and was told no daddy "Bisor"...

If you notice Logan's face.. again... Logan loved the farm so much he wasn't ready to move on... Here are Papa, Matt and Zoey in the farm... Zoey liked holding the bucket...



I didn't get a picture of Jeff... but he was there...a good time was had by all!

Camping with the Family...

This weekend the whole family went camping. This year we went to Flandreau State Park in New Ulm... We had lots of fun... eating, hiking, playing, swimming,and many other things...here are some pictures of the fun... Here is baby Henry...

Katie had to go home early to work... but here are Henry and Katie chilling by the fire...

Here is the Klein family... Zoey is showing her skill on the chair... maybe she is practicing for the Olympics....
Kirstin and the boys did a little star gazing... or was it airplane spotting?
Joe played with the boys toys after they went to bed...
Logan, Liam and Nora went to the Park... if that slide hadn't been so hot it might have been more fun!!

Liam had some fun sliding...
Nora was all about the beach...and "fwimming"... she even had the goggles on...
Zoey wanted to try some gummy bears but she couldn't get the bag open...
Here is Jeff... I am not sure if this is before Logan stepped on the "Fire Pizza" here or if he is making the replacement fire pizza...


The boys both tried on Nora's goggles...Here is Logan's look...Here is Liam's look...
Nora and Jed did some bonding... We heard ""unca" Jed come play" quite frequently... all of the kids liked playing with Uncle Jed...





And what would a vacation be with out Jed's guitar?


It was a very fun trip...
