Up North With the Gregorys

We went with Andrea, Ave and Cyrus to Andrea's parents house in Kerrick, MN. We went to a "chicken swap" in Moose Lake, and went blueberry picking at Pastor Nate's farm. It was such a fun time...although Sonny is definitely a city slicker- he was afraid of the roosters and the dark woods on the drive up...guess we have to get him out of the city more!

Nokomis Summer Fest

There is so much to do in Minneapolis (thanks to our WONDERFUL parks system). This particular event was Nokomis Summer Fest. There was a bounce house, music, treats, and of course, Sonny's BFF Owen...

Sonny's BFF

We got to go to Como Town yesterday with Sonny's best pal, Owen
He was the smallest kid on this ride, but that didn't faze him- he loved it.

The 4th!!

This was the first year Santino got to watch fireworks, so we decided to spend the 4th with the McNultys on Bald Eagle Lake.

Once again with the bean bag toss.
Craig and Betsy were so nice to have us all out for the night- there was a tent, lots of yummy food, and fun!

Some Summer Fun

This was one rainy afternoon at our new favorite store, Choo Choo Bob's

Como Town

We took a trip to Como Zoo, where I made the mistake of parking next to the rides. Of course, we had to stop to go on some!

This was a park in the middle full of slides, and ropes to climb on. Definitely the favorite part.
