Detriot Lakes

We spent the last 2 weeks of August in Detroit Lakes. We rented a pontoon 1 day during the first week, then went home for the weekend and brought the boat along for the 2nd week. We had awesome weather, Lyla was great, she had good long naps and slept great in the camper. It wasn't too hot, so she had fun outside and did pretty good on the boat too. I kept busy all day everyday and still stayed up every night for smores at the fire.

We spent tons of time at the beach. I love playin in the sand and swimming in lakes. One day we were the only ones left on the beach and I was still racing Mom and Dad into the water at 7 o'clock

More randoms from summer

Mom is slowly getting caught up with all of our pics. These ones are from August, Lyla was about 3 months. But now she is already 5 months, and 16 pounds. She got her 2 bottom teeth a few weeks ago. She's been eating cereal and a bit of fruit. She is always watching us eat, so we decided she is ready and I am the best helper. Feeding Lyla is one of my favorite things to do with her. She likes to sit in her bumbo and watch me play. I'm glad that she is getting bigger and she's a lot more fun. She is always smiling and she's very relaxed.

I on the other hand need to be busy... I go to preschool 2 times a week, and I love it. I also have ballet, gymnastics, 'bookclub' at the librbary, Wiggle Giggle and Munch through the resource center and preschool skating will be starting really soon. Hockey talk has been around our house for months already and we went to the first Hawks game this past weekend. We both really liked it, Lyla enjoyed all the movement, and I have started asking about all of the rules and how the game works. This makes Dad pretty happy, we are ready to spend another winter at the rink.

Enjoy the pics
