August update

Here is Ben enjoying his first-ever Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.  He passed the peanut challenge with flying colors and is  now eating peanuts as he wishes!

Highlights of the MN summer visit:

Swimming with the boys...

 Boat rides

Too windy - Eli: No fast.  Nick: GO fast.  Two minutes later...  Eli: Go fast.  Nick: No more fast.  Poor grandpa.

Ben's first fish! A perch that he really thought we should bring up to the cabin to eat.

 More swimming.

 Trucks.  And more trucks.

Play dough

 More fishing.

 More playdough.

 Trains.

 Puzzles.

 Cousins.

 Cousins with new popper rockets.

 Anniversary getaway for Jen and Andy - Duluth.  Enger tower.

 View from Enger Tower.

 Gooseberry Falls.

 Splitrock Lighthouse.

A great August.  I'm back to work this week for science curriculum planning.

Oh yeah - All of a sudden Eli can count.  To thirteen. (opps, he forgets 10).
