Clear Lake Days Marathon

A fun time was had watching the bands and princesses.

Lucky our chairs were under a canopy because it downpoured

for about 5 minutes - the bands kept marching though

Then it was off to the carnival rides.

Karlee named her blue pony paint.

Then we meet up with her cousin Kallie and they rode

rides and bounced together to their hearts content.

By the time the day was done everyone was tuckered out.

Fun day - good thing for us it only happens once a year!


We missed Uncle Larry this year at the festivities but he left this

morning with the youth group to go to the Challenge Conference

in Salt Lake City. 24 hour bus ride - oh my!! Say a prayer for him!

2nd Honeymoon Weekend

"The Cabin" belongs to my brother Todd and his wife and it is a great place to get away to. It is actually the place where we went on our 1st honeymoon. Anytime we are able to go up there we call it our 2nd honeymoon. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma B for watching the little gals for us.

We had a great 4 hour hike along the lake and the bluffs. It is absolutely beautiful and was nice to just have some time together.

In the winter we hike into the caves below the hiking trail if the lake is frozen and enjoy it's beauty in a whole different way.

Quarry beach - nice and calm after the storms passed through. It is a nice beach to visit because most of the tourists don't know where it is so you are usually there by yourself.

Friday night we had the privilege of seeing our friends John and Anitra begin their journey together as husband and wife. They had a beautiful sunset on the lake as the backdrop and we are excited for them as they start this new adventure - their love for each other and for Jesus Christ was evident that night. This by far was one of Todd's favorite weddings he has preformed.

Glenhills Camping

We had a FANTASTIC time camping with

Grampy & Grammy Bergmann and Uncle Larry.

It was our first trip out this season and the

weather even cooperated. Sierra loved all the

attention and Karlee loved making marshmellows.

Visit from Aunt Tana

We spent part of Saturday at Como Zoo. A fun time was had by all!!

Sierra couldn't stop pointing at all the different animals and Karlee loved

having both Aunt Tana and Uncle Larry to spoil her

THANKS Aunt Tana for coming to visit - we LOVE YOU!!
