Govin's Strawberry Patch

Sierra and Karlee really enjoyed their first trip

to a strawberry patch. Sierra ate everyone she picked

and Karlee wanted to fill her carton.

16 lbs were picked and hard to say how

many were eaten.

Freezer jam and some containers for ice cream

sundaes were made to enjoy this winter.

Visit by Grampy and Grammy Groat

Welcome to Wisconsin Grampy and Grammy!

Let's go sit by the firepit and make smores.

Plus there was bean bag playing and ice cream eating.

We all went into Clear Lake Days for the parade...

wait I mean rides. Guess what the girls liked the best.

Grammy made the girls beautiful dresses for church.

Fun snuggling with Grampy and reading a book with Grammy.

Como Zoo Visit

Our camping trip with Grandpa and Grandma Bergmann

got postponed because of bad weather so we went to

Como Zoo and Como Town for a day instead. Always a

fun place to visit and we stopped at the Snuffy's Malt

Shop on the way home and the little gals loved trying

everyone's mals.

Visit by Uncle Troy, Aunt Laura and Cousin Aunika.

Fun time playing in the rocks and sliding together.

Trip to Fawn Doe Rosa to feed the animals.

Karlee and Aunika's favorite thing was chasing

the ducks, geese and chickens.

Karlee is our animal lover. She would have stayed all day.

We had a hard time teaching Aunika and Sierra to hold their

hands out straight with the food on it. So gave them the bigger

pieces of dog biscuits or carrots.

So much fun. The deer will come up to anyone that they

believe has food for them. They just wander the whole

park - free to go where ever they want.

Uncle Troy, Aunt Laura and cousin Aunika having fun

visiting from St. Louis.

A fun night out side playing bean bag toss and making

smores around the firepit.

Play Doh ~ what better way to pass away a rainy day

Memorial Day Weekend 2009

What a fun weekend we had with

Aunt Tana and her boyfriend Ron visiting us.

First stop, Taylos Falls to do some hiking

We discoverd that Sierra was quite the little

hiker and rock climber. No back pack for her.

Wonder what it will be like at Estes Park in the fall.

Nothing like a good grill out after a day of hiking.

The girls sitting around the campfire

while the guys were away fishing.

Our fishermen. 2nd day out was better than

the first but any day fishing is good.

Can their ever be enough roasting

marshmallows and making smores?

Grandpa Groat how could you say no smores to this face

even though they are all over it?

Fun family time around the fire.
