A little fun...

Daddy was cleaning out the garage so the kayak was down and these three little boys had a little fun. They LOVE playing in the kayak. They are always asking when they can go out with Dad again. I think we'll have to buy another because soon we'll have at least one who will be wanting this one to himself.

Zoo

Micah got to take another field trip with his preschool  to the Zoo in Sioux Falls. Mommy and Levi got to go along as well. It was a fun filled day and a first for both the boys.

 Bear!

 We got to see a baby giraffe, so cute!

There are monkeys behind us...somewhere.

Field trip

Micah had his first field trip with his Preschool yesterday. He was so excited! He kept asking all last week when the day for his field trip would come. So hard to understand time and having to wait as a little child. Well his day finally came. He got to go to The Master's Corral. It is an animal farm in a nearby town. They have all kinds of unique animals. Mommy and Levi got to tag along and we enjoyed ourselves too. We enjoyed seeing all the cool animals and then we got to bring home a Peacock feather.

New Car

So they say that I am only 1 but look at what my Daddy just bought me!! I thought about it though and decided I would let him drive it for now. He'll take good care of it and he did need a new car. Yes, my friends the Carlson's have bought a new car. A 2003 Chevy Trailblazer. Dave's car has been getting worse and the decision was made, the look began and the new car was bought. It will be good to have 4 wheel drive for the winter and it will haul a kayak real well. All are excited at this house!

School

Summer break is officially over. Today marked the first day of school at our house. We had two very excited boys! They both had a wonderful day and are eager to return and learn lots this year. Ethan was excited about returning to school and getting to see all his friends again. Micah was excited about finally going to preschool and getting to do things like Ethan does. We are excited about our year and feel blessed to have the boys in Christian school surrounded by good staff and solid Biblical teaching.

Picnic with Daddy

We have gone once a week all summer long to Scotland for a picnic lunch with Daddy. It is fun to meet him at the park to play and have lunch. We are coming to the end of summer and will miss going to see him. One thing to look forward to next summer!

Harvest

The boys and Mommy headed to Murdo for a week to visit and get in on a little combining. Great Grandpa and Grandma Schneider were also up for a visit. We had fun swimming at the pool, going out for ice cream, riding combines and tractors and eating dinner in the field. It was a fun week!
