July Fun

Well, it’s August 1st so technically speaking not all of these pictures are from July…but who cares ??? :) This weekend we had a few outings now that the Red Bull Flugtag is done and no longer dominating the summer weekends! Yesterday was Logic’s summer picnic which was held at Parkers Lake in Plymouth – the girls had caricatures done (and loved watching the artist draw!), got a big bag of candy, played on the swings and slides, and then afterwards we headed over to the beach for our first beach outing of the summer. The girls loved splashing in the water, building little sand castles and searching for seashells in the water. No pics of any of it though…..until afterwards when we stopped in to pick of the ‘office’ camera from Logic and headed to dinner at Pizza Luce! We snapped some pics downtown and over by the Mississippi afterwards.

Today we headed down to the Wayzata Fire Department for their annual family picnic to hang out with Scott and Grandma Sharon. There were three jumpers, one was a water slide, and fire trucks everywhere! Great food, great weather, and all the kids (and moms) took a fun ride on top of Engine No.12 through the town. Anners was NOT liking the idea of the fire truck because she was afraid of the loud noises but in the end, Scott drove the truck and promised Annie he wouldn’t blow the horn so after a few tears she settled in on mom’s lap on top of No. 12. Once they were rolling Annie’s smile came out as did her beauty queen wave!! She LOVED the ride and so did Kate…..especially the ice cream after they got back! All in all it was a great weekend! Here are some pics from it.
