Pool Day & Sleepover!

Kelly and Molly both brought a friend with us to the pool today from 1-5pm.  We had a pizza party and movie night (Rio 2) with Brian when he got home from work.
 Both girls friends slept over too.....Molly's first "real" friend sleepover at our house!
 (She slept at Ava's a couple weeks ago....and it went well....so we thought we would try it at our house!)  Both girls had a lot of fun with their friend!

Art Show

Kelly had her paper mache butterfuy mask on display at a local art show.  We arrived home from our vacation, just in time to make the reception for the art show.

VACATION at Jellystone (7/23-7/29)

We had a wonderful week camping at the Austin, MN Jellystone park.  The weather was beautiful.....and we all had a great time!  We thought maybe a week would be too long camping in our pop-up.....but we would have stayed longer!  We all had an amazing time!
