Summer in Minnesota

OK, so how do you live in Minnesota without a boat? Just ask us!
But we can take pictures like this to make it look like we have one :)! This is our "skipper" boy taking an evening cruise on Green Lake in Spicer a few weeks ago. Thanks to Chris and Syna for the use of the boat and help with our evening as "pseudo boat owners"! We took PaPaw Putty and Mama Marg (aka Anne's folks) out for a leisurely ride. Not being big lake people either, we think they did a fine job, especially allowing Steve to play Captain!! He did a great job, by the way.

Understanding the naming of lakes is difficult, especially for a 3 1/2 year old. We were playing at another nearby lake and the water was rather green looking. Ryan, being the observant little boy, asks, "Is this Green Lake?" I respond by saying, "No, this is Games Lake." He replies with "What kind of games do they have?" And as you can see... Green Lake is rather blue looking most days!! The explanations continue....

Joining the Blog World...

Hello out there! Just thought we'd join some of our friends in the blog world and create a site to share photos and thoughts (probably not too profound, but we'll see! ) We've not been the best at sending emails full of photos... but we do get some requests. So here goes...
