I didn't plan on taking a 6 week blog break, but life happens. I've missed blogging and so have others, so I heard. The plan is to make blogging a habit again; just seems there are so many things I want to do during summer break that blogging gets put on the back burner. However that's not the best because when we're cooped up in winter it's nice to read through the summer archives; it gives us a little hope that summer will indeed return. I'm afraid if I don't document our summer a bit, we might not survive the long Wisconsin winter. So with that here's a little bit of our summer so far in pictures.
In no particular order.....
Amber and Little J playing a little ditty
Father's Day cookout at our place
The kids surprised me with a fur blanket for my birthday. The blanket tells the 2009-2010 Trapping Season story. They caught all the fur at our place.
Warren caught a 38" musky on his annual fishing trip with Paul. This was caught on Oneida Lake.
Emily keeps a good attitude on our Elroy-Sparta bike ride with friends. We purposely scheduled it for May to avoid the extreme summer heat. It was around 90 F that day.
Amber doing what she does best - playing pioneers at the campout spot.
I'll have to do a July update later.
Love the pioneers outfit!! Presumably she's read Laura Ingals Wilder? Are the other good pioneer series?
ReplyDeleteStill fascinated by the trapping- what are they from? (Are muskrats that big?) What a unique and memorable gift!
HEY! KIDS
ReplyDeleteIT LOOKS LIKE FUN, SO KEEP IT UP??
IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SEE MY KIDS ENJOYING LIFE ON THE FARM.
LOVE: MOM, SUZ, AND GRANDMA
