Fun Summer Day

On Friday we had a fun summer day in Okoboji. The sun finally came out for one thing:) We met the Johnson's at the Children's theater to watch the play Rap-untzel, It was a play about Rapuntzel but they did some rapping and dancing sot it was fun for the kids. Then after the play we headed to the park for some lunch.                                                                          

Kendal rode her bike all the way to the pool Friday afternoon for her swimming lessons! It is about 8 blocks away one way so we were very proud of her!  She has been a little scared of the water and finally she is starting to put her face and head in the water so we had a lot to celebrate!

We have been watching some home videos of mom and dad from high school. This is a little video of the girls watching our senior dance night when Daddy danced with Mommy. Kendal is a little shocked at all of Dad's hair!!

Happy Father's Day

We did soo much this weekend it feels like it has been a weeks worth of activities! It started Sat. AM we headed to Holstein for Kinderfest. Uncle Jim and Aunt Jeannie were the grand marshals of the parade so we couldn't miss that! Then we celebrated in the park after the parade.  This am we went to the Luther Church in Milford where Kendal went to bible school all week. She performed her songs she learned all week:) Then we went to Spencer to get a family picture with Grandpa Nemo and his tractor.
