We've had a busy week so far

We've had a busy week already this week. This past Sunday (Father's Day) we were up to Mark's Dad's all day. I'm sure everyone has heard about the tornado that tore thru Wadena last Thursday. Well it missed Myron's house and yard, etc. but went diagonally thru his pasture and woods. Mark and Myron spent all day and night on Sunday sawing trees off the fenceline and they still didn't get done. Connor and I went out with them in the pickup (so we could see the damage) and then walked back to the house after a while. I've got more pictures of the tornado damage, but will put them in another post.

Water break time

Mark and Connor -- It was really hot out that day. Connor with Grandpa Wicklund and Dad on Father's Day night before we ventured for home.

On Monday, Connor and I went and picked some strawberries. We picked one pail for us and two for the neighbors. As you can see below, he wasn't very good at filling his pail.And no, this is not his full bucket. He taste tested quite a few.

On Tuesday we ventured to the lake/beach nearby for a few hours. We packed our lunch and the sand toys. Connor is not one who is real fond of the water, so we spent most of the time playing in the sand making lakes and rivers and smashing castles. I was surprised that right before we packed up for home that he finally decided to actually sit down in the water. I told him that next time we will have to bring along some swimming rafts/noodles, etc.

Hey! It's progress...but hate to venture out too deep. :)Connor and Mom. Some nice lady sitting on the dock took our picture.
And today (Thursday) was a CIRCUS day! The circus was in town today. It was a good circus: 3 elephants, 5 white tigers, jugglers, acrobats, motorcycle riders, clowns, prancing ponies, sheepdogs riding in a funny car, etc. We had a fun time. And this time we opted for a snowcone since it was pretty warm out today. A picture of the elephants doing their tricks.
