Summer fun

A few pictures to show what we've been up to this summer.




Hanging out with Paul and Kathy Swenson on Lake Florida.  This is what we would look like with 4 kids!  (My Paul is holding Paul and Kathy's little Hannah).





Meredith taking over Luke's helmet!


Lunch at Jake's Pizza
We got a hot tub!  How many people can fit in there?  If they are little....LOTS!





Oneil's with dad. Love.
 

Celebrating Pete's birthday

Just got my hair cut a LOT.
 




Green Lake Triathlon.  No swim for me...lightening spotted so we just biked and ran....in the pouring RAIN.


kisses from Dutch!
Mankato shirts from the Binger family.  Our Stinger, Corey Binger, is playing baseball there.  Can't wait to watch him!


Stinger playoff game in St. Cloud.  Paul took the kids by himself.  What a dad!





Mom unplugged the main TV for a week so we spent some nights in the guest house playing games, doing puzzles, popping popcorn, and watching the Twins.


When it's girls night out for the moms, the dads and kids play.


Pirotta Park dedication.  Face painting and tie-dyeing for the kids.


Music in the park with Benny, Dutch, Grandpa, and Grandma

Benny ready to hit the golf course.  SO CUTE.
