August

                                             looking cool and checking out some tractors

                                           riding the bees.......Ben's first ride

                                                                jumping super high!

                                                             checking out the "tractors"

                                this kept Ben occupied for quite some time... shouting "1,2,1,Go!"

Hard to believe August is more than 1/2 over already!  it is flying by!  mostly because I have been working a lot with us implementing a new computer system at work.  finally, I am enjoying a stretch off and getting some things done around the house.

We managed to do a few things as a family this month.  We went to the Heatwol tractor thing ( forgive me for not knowing what it is called or how to spell it)  both kids liked the tractors and the trailer ride, though I got a little motion sick, lol.

Saturday, we went to prior lake for a picnic with my mom and her husbands extended family, complete with park and paddle boat rides.  We had fun but I forgot how much work that is!
Saturday night,  Seth's parents watched the kids so we could help some friends celebrate getting married with a bonfire.

Sunday, we went to the McLeod county fair.  Eleanor's favorite thing was the rides.  and Ben's was either the lawnmowers or the boy scouts car racing station.

and tonight we enjoyed a summer evening with some treats from the ice cream truck.  Ben was pretty excited about his sponge bob treat and Eleanor's hello kitty.
