Swiming at the Train Bell

On our last day at The Train Bell we spent about 3 hours enjoying their beautiful swim beach. The water only weny up to Mike's knees for a good 100 yards or more and the bottom was super sandy. Perfect for the twins to swim in. The sandy beach was wonderful for making sand castles. Couldn't have asked for better.

FORE!

While in Brainerd, we played a round on miniature golf. Kenna enjoyed her Bomb Pop much more than the game.

Train Bell

The resort we stayed at near Brainerd was called the Train Bell Resort. The owner built this little wooden train. They kids really enjoyed crawling on it and playing on the playground.

It was a whopper!!!

On our first vacation this summer we stopped to show the kids the worlds largest Holstein. So, on our second vacation to Brainerd, we decided we better stop in Garrison, MN and show them the big fish.

Shall we dance?

Rock Star Sighting

Car show and big kid beds

All summer Mike has been working under the hood of our 1960 Studebaker Lark. I'm happy to say that for the time being he is done and it is running great! We even spent this last weekend at The Car Craft Summer Nationals at the Minnesota State Fair grounds showing it off.

Then, on Monday, we spent a few hours cleaning the kids' room and setting up their new "big kid" beds. When Luke found out that their old bed really were leaving for good he had a small panic attack, but ultimately thier first night in their new bed went great. Just another sign that our "babies" are growing up.
