Pool time!

First time in the pool for the year :)

Mushroom Hunting

5.31.14

While Joe was busy with field work, the girls and I went morel mushroom hunting down by the Minnesota river on what we call "Riverland".  We'd already found around 150 mushrooms the week before and this trip we found a bunch more.

We used grandpa Tim's ranger so we could strap Claire's seat in and have enough room for everyone. Claire loved getting a front row seat and faced forward! She was all smiles.

Loula Ladies

 This is just one of many we found. Picture perfect!
While I was climbing on a steep hillside the girls decided to share their pouch of apple sauce with Claire and let her try to feed it to herself. She was covered in applesauce! This picture doesn't do justice to how messy she was.   She didn't mind obviously!

Daddy & Kaelyn lunch date

Joe took Kaelyn on a lunch date to Arby's.  Kaelyn has been asking to do things with "just her" so it was perfect!
