Luke played with my Johnny tractor while Aunt Kristi and I looked at a book.

The water is warm & there is plenty of room - come on over & play everybody!:)

After my dip in the pool we went down to Kindlespire with Gram & Gramp Harves.

Swinging on the BIG swings with Mom!! Can we go higher and faster?

A Night on the Town!

Today, Dad watched the Pioneer booth at the Marcus fair. Mom & I decided to meet him in Cherokee tonight so we could go out to eat.




Mom & I got to Cherokee early & went for a walk around Spring Lake Park. I wonder when Mom and Dad will stop pushing me and make me walk--suckers!













Dad found us & we went to the Gasthouse. My folks used to live in Cherokee (not on the hill, in the valley). I think they went to the Gasthouse quite often!! It is a pretty cool place.
