Cabin Fever!

Last weekend Jori, Chris and I got the opportunity to visit the family cabin. Due to other commitments, we didn't arrive till almost 10pm. That didn't stop us from enjoying smores and chatting with Mike and Courtney. (Chris's cousin and her husband)

Sunday was absolutely gorgeous. If I haven't told you, this year is one of the finest summers in Minnesota I can remember. Sadly, we desperately need rain, but I cannot complain about the blue skies, warm air and sunshine on my face. I think this summer is going to carry me far into our winter!

Here you go! Pictures from the weekend:

Courtney and Jori on the tube. Chris is trying like mad to dump them both! Which of course he was successful at!



Oh, isn't he cute?? He's ready -- Courtney did a great job trying to toss him off.



Here she is! My tubing girl. She really, really liked being at the cabin.





Jori was hiding from me when we were getting ready to leave Saturday.



Here's a brief glimpse into our world. We love all of you and hope you are enjoying your summer as much as we are!! Love, Jori and Jeannie

Olli fall down!

Okay, I guess I can finally admit it. My kitty is getting chunky. He's just hungry and whenever anyone is in the kitchen, he thinks it's time to eat. Poor Olli.

summertime dirt

I took this picture of Jori sometime over the past few weeks. She is about to get into the shower, and when she lifted her arm, I caught the deep, dark dirt lines! Oh, how I wish I could get this dirty playing at camp all day. I'm happy to see Jori is enjoying her summer to its fullest!

She is so tired by the end of the day, this is how I catch her sleeping.

Valleyfair

Jori and I had our annual Valleyfair event on Friday. We couldn't of asked for a better day! The weather was 90' but we didn't notice. There weren't many people there, and the rides took no more than 3-5 minutes to get on??!!

As usual, we brought a cooler of food and tried to keep down the cost. This year Jori brought her own money to play the games: ring toss, dart throw, break a plate,etc. Jori and I together won this gorilla. We've always seen people with the gigantic stuff animals and wondered how they did it. Jori was super lucky and won almost every game she played. This gorilla only costs $4 (not bad, huh?!) As you can tell in the picture, he has made himself part of the family.
