Itasca State Park






The Second weekend of September we went camping for the last time this year. Both Kent and I had never camped at Itasca before, but we had heard great things about it. The drive was not too long about two hours and it was great scenery most of the way. When we got there, we were told by one of the rangers that our campsite had the best view of all so we were pretty excited(the scenery picture is our view). The trees and the lake kind of reminded my of Kayla and my trip to Norway. It was pretty cold at night so we all wore many layers to bed but during the day it was perfect weather. We rode our bikes about three miles up to the headwaters were the Mississippi River started. That was pretty neat. The girls had fun jumping across the rocks. I will try to post more pictures later.

Mia and Isabelle Go Hollywood

On August 18th we went up to visit Kent's Family. Before we left Kent had picked up a gift for Kate's Birthday. While he was shopping, he found sunglasses for 50 cents each so he bought a bunch of them so the kids could play with them. This picture was taken in the car on the way there. They were practicing their "movie star with attitude" look.

Sesame Street Live




In mid-August we took Mia to Sesame Street Live. We all had a great time. Mia's eyes were glued to the stage the whole time and she even got up and danced around a few times. We had great seats, we were five rows from the front and were on the aisle.
