Too funny

During dinner one night, Michael couldn't keep his head up. He was so tired that I think his head was going to fall onto the table. Josh moved his plate just in case. After a few minutes of laughing really hard, I saved him from despair and within a couple of minutes on my lap, he was fast asleep for the night.

Well, we scratched an itch. This past weekend, we went camping for the first time! Below is a picture of our set up. Natalie and Michael did awesome (much better than expected). We stayed close to the house in case we needed to abort the adventure. It was an interesting night of sleeping and the next day we all took long naps.


Fishing was a success (again)! Once again, Natalie caught the most fish and we are convinced the pink hook attracts the most fish.

Michael loved splashing in the water at the beach. He also found a nice worm on Sunday morning. I caught him 3 times trying to stick the worm in his mouth. I just don't understand. Really. Why? Hmm...
Here is a picture of everyone hanging out by the fire. S'mores were a hit!
Natalie starts Summer camp tomorrow and she is really excited! Michael is talking our ears off and we love it!

It's official, Michael put more miles on his mower than Josh.
We got a nice hail storm on Memorial Day weekend. Luckily it wasn't a tornado. Below is a picture of the hail on the back porch.
We took Michael and Natalie for their first canoe ride. It was a huge success. We stayed in the canoe 25 minutes longer than I anticipated...we made it 30 minutes total! Yeah Michael and Natalie!
We had a couple Superhero sightings in Savage, MN. The Super Squirter...
The Tutu Avenger....
The Tutu Avenger again...
We took Michael and Natalie fishing for the first time and it was super, super fun. Natalie caught the most fish, while Michael was simply fascinated with all the fish and worms. Below is a picture of Natalie's first fish.
Natalie really enjoyed fishing. This past weekend, Natalie sat out on the backyard porch and practiced casting her fishing pole all by herself. That's my girl! (I know my Dad was with us and he was proud).
Natalie also caught a bullhead fish. Yuck!
I hope you are enjoying the warm weather. Josh's birthday is coming up (June 15th).
