Scandinavian Days

We went up to Story City to their Scandinavian Days. We didn't make it for the parade because we thought it was going to be a stormy day, but it cleared up and last minute we decided to go up for a little while. Annika had just gotten this Norwegian costume from her cousins. It is actually our friend, Ida's daughter's costume. Ida is a family friend from Norway and lived with us during her Senior year of high school. We had fun walking around, and Annika even dressed up as a Viking for the picture.

Memorial Day at Clear Lake

Kiersten and Annika had their first ice cream from an ice cream truck on Memorial Day. They loved it and were absolute messes!

We had a great time at the Wilson's cabin. It was a beautiful day!

Little Artists

Annika has started to get quite good at drawing. She prefers drawing her own pictures as opposed to coloring books. The people look a little goofy right now because she's started drawing teeth too. This is a picture of Kiersten (orange) Annika (pink hair) Mommy (red) and Daddy (purple) at Daddy's softball game. Annika is mad because she wanted to stay and I made her leave (this really happened a few nights before)!



Not to be outdone, Kiersten has started doing her artwork on our walls, chairs, floors, tables, etc.
