We visited Lewis and Clark Lake today and had a great time. The water was awesome the beach was sandy and the sun was shinning, can't wait to finally get the boat out...soon.

Brian, Gus, Sam and Joy visited Arrowhead Park today. They enjoyed playing on the rocks and around the barn.

Trista and the boys on the trampoline. We were torn about getting one but the kids have definately enjoyed it.

Trista took the boys and Joy up to Duluth for 10 days while Brian was in Texas. They had a great time riding four-wheelers, tractors and Kevin and Peggy's pony. Joy looks like a full-blooded midwestern girl with the sweet corn!

Gus sang us his graduation song on the way to his preschool "graduation." Love moments like these...

View from the top. Today we hiked to the top of a hill near our house. The picture on the right shows our neighborhood. We're really looking forward to the summer.

Trista was reading the boys a bedtime story tonight and when I put Joy in the bunk she went right over with the boys to listen too.

Today we spent some more time biking and hiking. Mom had to stay home with Joy. Gus and Sam found a snake sunning itself on the trail. Gus immediately tapped it, the snake slithered away about 2 feet and starred back, incredulous at the audacity of that 5 year old boy. Dad had to advise Gus that it is not best practice to touch all snakes we see. Gus immediately retorted that the snake he just touched did not have a rattle!
