End of School Year

Last Day of Preschool. Campbell moves on to Kindergarten next year, WOW! I can't believe my baby girl will be going off to school! Blake has loved being a big boy and joining his sister one morning a week at preschool. I think it will be good for him to have a taste of preschool so he won't be scared next year when he'll be going 3 mornings a week.

Last day of school party at the park. Bummer it's raining, but we're prepared!

Kids performed a bunch of songs. So cute!

Campbell with her fun teacher, Miss A

This is classic. I had been keeping the kids out of the puddles prior to the program, but when it was over, I let them go splash and have fun. I'm talking to moms/teachers. I notice Blake taking off his boots/socks because the water had gotten into his boots. Fine. Next thing I turn around and he's butt naked. Mom of the year award!

Wedding

After working at the cabin, we went down to Duluth to attend TC's wedding. We stayed with the N's and the kids had fun playing together. The kids had a blast at the wedding as they haven't been to one since Blake was a tiny newborn. Blake tore up the dance floor with some pretty interesting moves. Campbell found a group of older girls and followed them around. They served breakfast food....so I was in heaven. There was a candy bar and we could watch huge ships come into the harbor, so the kids thought it all was the best thing they'd ever experienced.

We wish TC & M all the best as they enter their married life together!

Paneling Screen Porch

Jim came up to help us insulate/panel the screen porch. Gabe cut, Jim nailed and I was the runner. We make a great team!
 

Getting started.

Last piece of the ceiling going up!

  

Cutter extraordinaire

Looks so nice!

Moving on to paneling the secret fort.

Not ideal working conditions....so cramped!

Cabin Varnished

We hadn't been back to the cabin since Easter weekend because we had a crew working on varnishing the paneling. Wow does it look different! They rubbed a coat of Murphy's Oil then sprayed 3 coats of varnish (hand sanding/tacking in between coats). So much work! One bedroom we did in a sort of white wash. They did an awesome job and it looks amazing!

 

GG came up for the weekend to try catching some fish. No luck again!

 





Now that the paneling is finished, Gabe can install all the lights/fans. We've had most of the lights/fans for about 3 years and moved the boxes around countless times! So awesome to get them installed. It's starting to look finished!

First Beach Visit of the Year

The water was freezing (who am I kidding, the air wasn't all that warm either) and the beach was deserted, but that didn't stop us!
