Labor Day Weekend

the official end of summer...thankfully it was so nice out!! We enjoyed every minute of the great weather this past weekend.
We started the weekend at the State fair with Josh, Alicia, and Benjamin Thieschafer and Kurt, Lori, and Emma Althaus.

Had a great experience with the kids. We rode the BIG slide, saw lots of animals, and ate a variety of state fair food. Then we enjoyed an afternoon and evening at our house in Elk River. We ended the night with a slumber party and all the kids and adults did GREAT!!!


The big slide with mommy - Dancing at the fair

Walking with daddy - Tuckered out after the fair

Sunday, Taylor and I went to the lake for some afternoon sun, fun, and water...and to let daddy take a nap from the night before! Taylor loves the water and isn't afraid to walk in up to her chin. There is a great little lake about 2 miles from our house in Elk River, the beach is very nice, the water was warm and clean. We will definitely be going back there next summer!

Monday, both sides of grandparents came down to visit and play with Taylor. Mom wanted to see our lawn and Mary wanted to check on my tomato plant!! Again we had plenty of outside time even in the hot afternoon - but that is where Taylor loves to be - OUTSIDE!!

Taylor is so busy right now...always playing and reading books. She knows a few words (kind of)
Puppy - and what the puppy says- ROOOOOF! More - Thank you - I don't know - Nose (and where it is on everyone)
She is becoming such a big girl. In just a couple of months she will be transitioning to another room at Daycare...once this happens she will really be a big girl, doing all the big kid things.

Why did Eric have to nap on Sunday? He must have been very exhausted after we solved all of the worlds problems...Just wish I could remember the answers!!! --Josh
