Railroad Days

An annual celebration held in our town.  Things were bit different this year. Road construction had the parade rerouted but the kids were still able to find familiar and new things to experience. 

Helicopter ride

 

Helicopter rides were being offered during railroad days.  The kids and their Dad took a ride, they had a great time! They enjoyed a bird's eye view of many familiar places in town and even got to fly over the house where I was abkento snap a photo of them.

12 years

From the moment I met you I knew it was going to be an adventure..... 2 days new with the biggest brown eyes filled with curious wonder.  You were the answer to the prayer held in my heart for years of just one more baby...for a dozen years you have shown me how to experience the most in life, to live in the moment, to bend the rules, and notice the simple, the ordinary.  You define life with your strength, wonder and endless curiosity.  Happy Birthday Rosie!

4th of July fun

Donuts

 

Dunkin Donuts opened in Mankato recently.  We made a stop the other day, that box generated a lot of smiles that day.  

Rail run

 

First Railrun for these two.

Pow wow parade

 

I grew up attending Powwow activities in My. Lake. My Dad grew up there, it's always fun to share this witgvmy kids, even more special when my dad joins us.
