BUSY FUN FILLED WEEKEND

This weekend was busy and VERY fun! Friday after I got off work, we headed down to the county fair. We walked around and enjoyed the fair food and animals. But we are glad that it is over because it is only a block away from our house and it gets crazy around here then.

Saturday we got up early and headed to Grantsburg, Wisconsin for the water skips. For those of you who do not know what this is, it is snowmobile racing done on water. Very fun!! It was a beautiful day for it. Not too hot or humid. But I did get a little too much sun....yes I got sunburned. My shoulders look like lobsters!! LOL!! Oh well at least we had fun.














These are just a few of the pictures that we have. If the snowmobile sinks in the water and they cut the engine before it actually goes under, the snowmobile can be up and running in a new race within 10 minutes. Amazing!! Looks like a lot of fun out there. They definitely stayed cool out there. We plan to go to this again next kyear. Maybe even catch another one later on this year. The pros were even there. It was just amazing what they were doing out there.
As if that wasn't enough excitment for the weekend. After we got back into town, Kyle and Pam came over and we went to the Mora parade. That was pretty fun. Not as fun as when we were kids though.
Another adventure added to the summer!!

Life's Little Miracles

David's older sister, Sherri, just had her baby on June 30th. So this weekend we drove to Benson, MN to see the new addition to the family!!This is Angel Marie Helmbrecht. She is sooo adorable.
David was feeding her a bottle and told me that I was going to burp her because he didn't want her to spit up on him. So he fed her and fed her and fed her. Well you can imagine what happened when I got her. Yep, she spit up all over me. I hadn't had her more than 2 minutes. But babies will be babies. I'm sure that since there is a little one now that we will be visiting family out there much more often.










AWWH!!!!









We also got a chance to go and see David's mom. She just bought a new house there in Benson.
David certainly looks like his mom. She was showing us some pictures of when he was a baby. Such a cute little boy he was!!
Well there is another adventure that we did this summer. Add that to the list!!
