Wait a second... isn't it summer you might ask. Yup...it was a over 90 degrees that day... we live in Minnesota... the State of Hockey.. we ice skate in the summertime. Ha! Now we have never actually gone skating in the summer before- but there is a first time for everything! Our neighbors planned a trip to the rink during open skating and we thought we would give it a try. I have skates of my own and I had actually gotten skates for the kids from students of mine. Many of the boys play hockey so summer ice time isn't to crazy but it was the first time for Dayne and Lylah and they did pretty good. They lasted longer than I thought- about 30 minutes. Dayne said he would do it again so I took that as a good sign. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjejtRXR77fKHQekB-mSsgM71sbAHRWzTiOCgVMtelT0o-hRdcYn01aclk6YoTjcJuRDiSMO7O7fErVwJeU4Hy3ExORW_ZAHachqa1yd0O9Ue0FktZdON3fUHtuREcOs5jEqm-JSAFKq-qn/s1600/IMG_5654.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510300642303091138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjejtRXR77fKHQekB-mSsgM71sbAHRWzTiOCgVMtelT0o-hRdcYn01aclk6YoTjcJuRDiSMO7O7fErVwJeU4Hy3ExORW_ZAHachqa1yd0O9Ue0FktZdON3fUHtuREcOs5jEqm-JSAFKq-qn/s320/IMG_5654.JPG" /></a> Happy Dayne- upright!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUeFpR43YpmiQz1aUYyYE10APhtWFtEiSWXCRz1xpoIgqJUjoLjvxCQ5-ckbFmvTcTDFg2zgcUBOg87QtRopanJBNjqcgZ-ntlGt3VrR6yf-MOc-oEHmItNxFaipHAoiJ6KqzglRmR5ccY/s1600/IMG_5663.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510300635698034098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUeFpR43YpmiQz1aUYyYE10APhtWFtEiSWXCRz1xpoIgqJUjoLjvxCQ5-ckbFmvTcTDFg2zgcUBOg87QtRopanJBNjqcgZ-ntlGt3VrR6yf-MOc-oEHmItNxFaipHAoiJ6KqzglRmR5ccY/s320/IMG_5663.JPG" /></a> I actually really like to ice skate but it is not easy with the kids.

After Dayne attended a birthday party at a local water park he wanted to go back. We decided give in to his begging one evening to take advantage of the twilight admission and a coupon... that would make my mom proud! ha! Lylah is finally getting into going on the smaller kids slides so she had a blast. Dayne wasn't quite tall enough to go on the big slides- a huge bummer to him. We might have to hold off going back again until he is tall enough for those! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhghZyHINfhq1SawU5HlKPYpBOmGd_aT7wdRXGLn0pcaCli3InyEkR1LzUrEFEU4mjABtN6f29c7dIMBsKR6aCJbJYbG_3Bj7NOa9xxSimlb1sIjwStbkF18DdP0sEs0MSx8RwW8q2esU7c/s1600/IMG_5625.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510306720266337650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhghZyHINfhq1SawU5HlKPYpBOmGd_aT7wdRXGLn0pcaCli3InyEkR1LzUrEFEU4mjABtN6f29c7dIMBsKR6aCJbJYbG_3Bj7NOa9xxSimlb1sIjwStbkF18DdP0sEs0MSx8RwW8q2esU7c/s320/IMG_5625.JPG" /></a> Water pouring on his head!

Mine came back to me on a trip I took to Maryland for my cousins wedding. I was a lucky gal that traveled A LOT as I was growing up. I don't really remember all the places we visited. I know I have a sweatshirt filled with patches that tell me where I went- but I don't really remember them. But I do remember the feelings I had. Traveling was always a little stressful. My dad worked for United Airlines so we always flew standby. Sometimes waiting a long time at airports.... but it was worht it...back then traveling was actually fun! We usually flew first class..cheese and cracker carts, meat sliced right in front of you, the ice cream cart... ahhh now that was the life. Now you are lucky to get a glass of water!<br /><div><br /></div><div>But I digress.... My sister and I flew out together to DC where we met our parents. Ahhhhh flying in silence with no one asking you anything or climbing on you... it was wonderful! My hubby and kids stayed back visiting his family. My parents met us at the gate since they just came on a plane from Arizona... Just walking in the airport with my parents brought back all kinds of odd memories. Ha! Then driving with them.. oh my! My mom had to use the GPS AND a map..... what the heck!! It was something.... but that is a whole other story! ha!</div><div><br /></div><div align="center">I always love that part of the country with the green hills and curving roads. We took some time to go to the Great Falls before my cousins beautiful wedding. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510518758187717938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEislW66o_QNAIrvEPpvA5GjrnRbHO9o1DFrOGcTjUVOptY8iAFvNDLQJ2hEwwGE2YLySEbOC9_-4u3snfufaIT0zb_rdplOpTAFjQpFz3AK-sEqidIuBl0k6Rlp8x03DeyMQrCTVYLzFIPc/s320/IMG_5382.JPG" />It was beautiful...

We seem to have a lot of those. With the neighborhood we live in there are lots of events we do each and every year. Gotta love that! For the 4th of July we have a kiddie parade where the kids decorate their bikes/scooters and we walk down the road and the kids get a treat at the end.

Today was one of those days when I really love the life I have! We went to the new beach in town. It is not too far away and it has soft sand and a shallow beach. We arrive early to get a spot (some friends joined us later) It was so quiet and the kids just LOVED it. They right way played in the sand!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig9WAQ6rti46NfwXGek3uLE0C92RB2HRFNFSYgOPO2zIxCs4VTQN8GNcN0xltNpAU7vefEJM2OhPXajtbYL7pNgMQdkVMoKcBI6JstBLeAuUiaiKmDREWwB_LI4qI3lyaEyaGTx0kjojsx/s1600/IMG_4935.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488279545042459506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig9WAQ6rti46NfwXGek3uLE0C92RB2HRFNFSYgOPO2zIxCs4VTQN8GNcN0xltNpAU7vefEJM2OhPXajtbYL7pNgMQdkVMoKcBI6JstBLeAuUiaiKmDREWwB_LI4qI3lyaEyaGTx0kjojsx/s320/IMG_4935.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488277441092416658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ZxjFd4RsqiSkJB-WwliRpFLHvult7SnXS6DNR54dKz3496lRWzrwu450AFBgWhaJS8bRLYeivj7QTzhPo4tKjNA1cfj_5Ra3vzPYiVqThA07bCltvuiqu4FvyhV0A9fStIKQiaLGyPmp/s320/IMG_4937.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488277431793202114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdJDfRRCeXrYfXFsxfy47RCt6TkfJOmUdDUBINgYK0_GLjvGiJalQa_LZ6phRkocNLVTulLiF5PGmnHzDjI6ScjneAg0B0JQ8zGi7sRTGKUFQ_RbwqzASqtBy7PYckKFVJZu6xSi_-pB5c/s320/IMG_4933.JPG" />Working together!

The festival was taking place in a few different cities so we decided to check it out- especially after we found out there was a kids bike race for free! The kids were able to ride one loop of the track the professionals were riding on. Dayne and Lylah were SO excited! It was going to be their first bike race. Well the first race they had ever done on their own! The got bibs to wear too! The race was pretty well organized with a few hundreds of kids. They went in age order- with the older kids going first and the younger kids going last. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488257081158432850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXhFoXtAHjV94qxrgncg-f_jFBQyjQpNh5n1wc_U9VOhaP2D51ewfTL06fPBucwYAGjKCRTS4XiBT_v_tOsUDTZaKmS0UNBA28XJ9zBUkljh9bbAJT-vwJ6-PvFCu2A_tHH9Xqf7hYgVGd/s320/IMG_3992.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzH8o4tVLvl2HbSdsFtU9LZIJ9K1RFUKP4F7c4hZ4DXw1j6yj8yErxdX6qQzjxL3v36M6lQkztqAFTBlXSJSNdCwZWrlRrKnHy8tRALbXKJ8jH7TIGTGEzIWKLLfES0KKJM8uQmHH9LqWE/s1600/IMG_3968.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488264585780891474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzH8o4tVLvl2HbSdsFtU9LZIJ9K1RFUKP4F7c4hZ4DXw1j6yj8yErxdX6qQzjxL3v36M6lQkztqAFTBlXSJSNdCwZWrlRrKnHy8tRALbXKJ8jH7TIGTGEzIWKLLfES0KKJM8uQmHH9LqWE/s320/IMG_3968.JPG" /></a> There goes Dayne!!
