MN State Fair

Today we made a very impromptu decision and headed to the Minnesota State Fair. We really didn’t take any pictures, but we had a wonderful time. The highlights were obviously the food and we scored some really great Minnesota sport gear at the fan booth. Summer has officially come to an end in Minnesota.

First Day of School

Today we officially began the 2025-2026 school year. The kids had mixed feelings but all agreed that the early morning sucked. We were all out the door at seven, but thankfully done at two this year. Another change this year involved all kiddos being in middle or high school. We are done with all elementary, and I’m very excited for that. Well here’s to a wonderful, memorable, fun, and educational year. 

Camp Lebanon

For the past month we have been a kid or two short thanks to Camp Lebanon. Ian and Maddie went first to Super Kids. Elyse went next to senior high week, and Kallen ended out July with middle school. They all love Camp Lebanon and look forward to going every summer. The house is different when each one’s gone for the week, but it’s fun to hear stories and celebrate when everybody gets back home.
