CLABORNS

6.13.09

We met the Claborns up at the lakes for a fun filled day!!

We started off with a bike ride - that's me & McKenna

We rode bikes up to Spirit Lake & stopped at a park before turning back. The digger things were the BEST!!!!

I think Dad likes them too :)

Thanks for the push Shannon!

Hope you had a GREAT birthday weekend Jess - we sure had fun!!!

Saying goodbye.....

Maybe you should move back to IA :) How do two people from Texas & Missouri end up in MN?!?

LE CLAIRE

6.11.09

Uncle Chris, Aunt Sarah, Chloe & Bella moved again!! We went down to check it out. They are right outside the quad cities in an awesome "small" town. Since we drove all that way & they are minutes from the John Deere pavilion they took us down there for lunch. I tried to have a great time - I got sick on the ride down & the next day & the next day :( Looking forward to going back - you guys have an awesome new home!

O Farrell's

The Crew's invited us up for breakfast this morning. If you are at the lakes I would recommend O Farrell's!!

9 people in a corner booth :) There I am with Abby & her mom & dad.

Mom let me take a few pictures while we waited. I didn't do too bad - that ketchup bottle got in my way.

CIRCUS?????

The Scuffhams invited us down to the circus at Pocahontas today!! The circus was OK - but the park & playing at Parker's house was AWESOME!!!

Me at my first circus - notice my expression.

Shouldn't this guy be giving me a ride!

:) I LOVE slides!!!

Are they going to get stuck up there?

Parker had some pretty cool toys - I got to ride his 4 wheeler too!!

He even let me play with his tractors - he needs some green ones though :)

THANKS guys - I had a great time!!
