Fire House

My friend Mark was in town with his family visiting his parent's house in Savage, MN. We went to his brother's fire house in St. Louis Park and took a tour. This fire truck that the kids are in is from 1928. That's Mark's brother, Mike, helping Jack with the oxygen tank pack. It was very heavy!

Arboretum

Here we are at the Arboretum. It was a very hot day, but the kids enjoyed the hedge maze. Verland waited at the exit, but we were able to get him in the pictures too.

Hunter and Jack

I know that these are out of order. The Lanes came before the Swedes, but I just found these pictures that I hadn't posted yet. I should mention too that these were taken the morning that Hunter left. As you can see, the boys?... Not happy.

Swedes in the House

Christin arrived on Tuesday with Alexander and Caroline. Eric is coming tonight. We've been going to the mall, the beach and hiking around town. Here we are at the mall on Wednesday. Keiko's friend, Jaelyn, came along too.

Lanes Visit

The Lanes came to visit us from Texas. It was great to see them this week. I wish I had taken more pictures. I took these yesterday after doing their hair. We played salon in the house. The girls picked out their own styles for me to do them up.
