Summer Recap

Work starts tomorrow for me, which means summer has come to a close!

Here is a little recap of our summer:

Maria finished her first official year of school and is moving on to 1st grade!

Mama retired!!!!!! 

We enjoyed the beach, the boat, a splash pad and a water park with the beautiful weather we had ALL summer long!

Joe moved into his new office at work, so we had a small photo shoot with the girls to fit the baseball theme of his work space.

(Natalie obviously wasn't cooperating after the first 30 seconds.)

We celebrated the 4th with many family get togethers and fun!

We took the girls to their first Twins game. I think they did more eating than watching the game, but it was nice weather and a good time.

Emma turned 5! And we celebrated Olaf style simply because we love summer!

I turned the big 3-0 and my hubby threw a great surprise party for me with my family and friends after a full day of canoeing down the river.

My high school friends helped me end the summer the right way with a girls weekend this past weekend. We ran a 5k in the morning, followed by time on the lake and a nice evening together.

Of course there were many other events that kept us busy all summer long and we are grateful for all of them.

Summers are the best! But bring on the new school year!!
