Summer Fun Part 1

We've really been soaking up the summer sun this year. I think having kids makes you realize just how short the warm season is (and how long the cold season is). I've made an effort to say yes to summer fun activities whenever possible.

Here are some photos from the first half of June.


June 2nd. Here I am in my beach getup. I finally got myself a floppy sun hat. It's actually functional as well as fashionable - it helps to protect my pale skin. My tankini is from Lime Ricki. Sunnies from Walmart.

I took the kids swimming at Reuben's family's beach.

Spring Blooms

One of the best parts about spring in Minnesota is all the blossoming trees! They're delicate and glorious at the same time.

Here's a boatload of photos I've taken this spring. Enjoy!

Feelin' Like Summer!

Last week felt like summer. So warm and sunny, but not quite as oppressively hot as summer can get in Minnesota.

Here's James sporting his new Keen sandals.



I thought for sure my rhubarb wouldn't do much this year since it started out pretty tiny. But it seemed to spring up overnight!
