All in August

August has brought Allie closer to Middle School and with that she has begun trumpet lessons. I think she is a natural, beautiful and growing up so fast!
This photo was taken at the annual Almelund Thrashing Show, this piece of equipment is a Splittstoser Potato sprayer....yes it is true you know a descendant of the inventors and agricultural entrepreneurs, This piece is from the very early 1900's and was manufactured in North Branch. The building is still standing and is occupied now by the A and C engine specialists near Blockbuster video.

I recently took Maddy on her first official trail ride on horseback. She loved every minute of it and has since taken over ownership of my horse. We went with my Mom, Christie and Sadie.
Here is a day at home enjoying the sun, pool and the yard swing.
Maddy and I joined Sheri and Ashley along with Jessie (Matt's niece) for a day at Fawn Doe Rosa. The deer were huge and friendly. Daddy was impressed with the rack on this one!
John and I recently returned from a week bike trip around Lake Superior. We put on a couple hundred miles a day, which doesn't seem like much til you're sitting on the back of a Harley! Thank God for Advil and hot tubs.

The scenery was breathtaking and went on forever. This is an example of one of the many falls we stopped at.
John and I celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary today :) We did some shopping, dinner and a hotel night this past weekend in honor of the occasion.
