Apple Orchard

Our recent trip to the Apple Orchard was a lot of fun!!!

Public Works Open House

We went to the Public Works Open House in Cottage Grove and Madison got to drive the payloader, go up in a bucket truck, and play on the inflata-slide. It was lots of fun! She also ate a sno-cone (make that two sno-cones) for the first time.

Bike Ride Video

Madison has gotten good at riding her bike. We went to the outdoor ice rink nearby to practice in a nice safe place (i.e. no cars, poles or bumps to hit).

New Bike!!!!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit in July and Madison got her very own, brand new princess bike with training wheels. She got to ride it around the parking lot and made grandma and grandpa run a lot to keep up with her. She loves her new princess bike.

Learning to play golf just like mom!

4th of July

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us over the 4th of July. We went to see fireworks two nights in a row. Once in St. Paul for the Taste of Minnesota festival and once in Woodbury. Madison stayed awake to watch this year!

Gone Fishing

We went down to our favorite lake (Powers Lake) to go fishing this weekend and as usual Madison was pulling in Bluegill left and right. After her typical 5 fish she lost interest though, and we headed to the playground.



Another trophy bluegill landed!

Madison insisted on baiting her hook....with the bright pink powerbait she picked out.

And finally, the last stop at the playground where she loves the tire swing.

COOKIE!

Madison and her friend Isabel made a giant cookie. Madison thought it was really yummy to her tummy.
