Things we do when it rains

Zoe has gotten good at her sequencing cards. She has moved on to storytelling cards. She has names for all of the characters and tells a good story with the cards. Impresses me.

Brewster is a good sport. She was using his ears as reigns and pretending he was a horse.

Dancing ballerinas. I have to buy some more kid music-we listen to it and dance A LOT!

I really do not like rain at all, but it has been raining a bit lately and we have been finding activites to do indoors. We would all prefer to be outside!

Midnight Sun Run

We live along the race route and each and every year we have a party to celebrate. We celebrate summer, birthdays and Father's Day all at the same time. This is only the second time in I think 7 parties that it has rained on us. The first time we were not very prepared, but this time we were super prepared. We had 5 large tents and the party went on as if it was sunny out. We eat and party starting around 7 at the end of the cul de sac and then around 9:45 we move all of the tents, chairs and the snowmachine trailer full of coolers to the beginning of the cul de sac to watch the race. I LOVE summer in Fairbanks.

Family Trip teaser

Medora, North Dakota (The Badland)

Playground by Great Grandma's-both of them had a great time-we visited daily

We are home from our vacation. We have been home for almost a week, but I have been super busy planting flowers, getting the yard together, planting more flowers, playing in the sun. Well, you get the picture. We had a great time with family. It was nice to see everyone and the girl's had a great time catching up or if you are Hailey, meeting cousins. We visited Medora in North Dakota, played on many playgrounds, played with kitties, milked cows, played in the hay loft, rode in tractors, went to 3 zoos, caught a Twins baseball game, visited Federal Dam, Shannon went fishing, went to the Mall of America, stayed at an indoor water park hotel (so much fun). Well, you get the picture, we did a lot!!!! Here are a few pictures, I will post more as I get a chance.
