Hal, Kevin & a little Cheesefest!

It was time for Hal and Kevin's annual fishing trip and we were honored to get to spend a little time with them while they were in MN. Hal and Kevin stopped in as Claranna's baptism celebration was winding down. Here's Hal as he was getting to know little Claranna.


Cousin Kevin took some time to play trains with James...

...and to hold his newest cousin!

On a drizzling Friday night we ventured out to have some fried cheese curds at the Pine Island Cheesefest. It doesn't feel like summer with out a little greasy food and a parade! Ella gave Hal a little extra exercise.

Claranna hung out in the Sprout Pouch all snug inside my coat...thank goodness she is so tiny!

On Sunday, Hal and Kevin were flying back to California while we enjoyed a parade with family. Here's Great Uncle Tom holding his great grand niece, Claranna, and Sara and Kory with their twins Emmaleigh and Derek.

James spent most of the parade running around and eating candy, but when the tractors came by, he sat down so he could concentrate on them!

Claranna enjoyed her first parade napping in the shade with daddy!

Nearby the twins were doing the same... so sweet!
