Another family vacation has come and gone by way too fast. We all went up to Grand Marais for a long weekend. It was the first time mom and dad had ever been that far up north along the north shore. We couldn't have asked for better weather. For the most part it was sunny. Occassionally there would be a rain shower but it would be done and over with in less than 5 minutes.
This is a picture of Grand Portage High Waterfalls. This picture doesn't even do it justice. It was so amazing that water falls from that high. They were supposed to be the best that there have been in 15 years. So all the rain does pay off!!!!
This was every one just sitting by the lake where the Cascade River met Lake Superior. The only one missing from this picture would be David. He was off exploring on the other side of the river. It was nice to just relax and take in the scenery.
And when there was down time, there were many games of Polish Horseshoes being played. I think now every one wants to make a set of the game. 
This is a catepillar that David saved. He was saving them as we went. Didn't want to see the poor little guys squished by bikes. I think he saved 3 all together. Now they can turn into pretty butterflies!!
It is so nice to have a shlef under the table too. David likes to leave his school books scattered all over the couch.....maybe this will give him the incentive to put them away or at least on the shelf so someone else can sit on the couch.
So we are finally on Spring break. Well, it's actually almost over. We had 2 weeks off. We are now almost to the end of week 2. Next monday night it is back to school starting quarter 3. We are both proud to say that we have 4.0 GPAs....which also means we made it to the Deans List again. YAY!!
Well that is all for now.
Why is it that those animals that people love to hunt like to run out in front of cars? Why can't they stay on their sides of the road? Why can't they look both ways before crossing the street? These are some of the questions we have been asking ourselves this weekend. David was up close and personal with one of them Thursday night on his way home from work. I was sound asleep when he calls at 1:30 that morning. I hate calls at that time of night. I know that they are never good. He creamed a deer but luckily for us, it wasn't too bad. We could have brought it in to the shop and had them take care of it with insurance. But we are lucky to have his dad who can fix just about anything. So for only $8 David and his dad were able to fix it rather than spending $500. And it is barely noticeable now. Once summer comes he will do some more tinkering on it.
On a brighter note, I finally got some good pictures of our cute little critters. This is my Remy. We built her that house just a couple of hours before this. She loves it. We have been having a little trouble with her. Lets just say she doesn't like David at all. Every time he puts his hand in her cage she runs after him and tries to bite his hand. She doesn't really like it when I do it either but she knows if she bites me she won't get treats or get to come out and play. So I have had to spend lots of time working with her. She is scarred of us now because she bite David once and he ended up throwing her across the room on accident. He was just trying to get her to let go of his finger. It was funny but I felt so bad for her. So now she has that little trust issue. I have been spending about an hour with her each day trying to get her to calm down. It is working slowly but surely.
This is David's little Snowball. She is so cute and curious. We don't have really any problems with her. She is very tame. We can pick her up anytime....well not if you wake her up. She doesn't like that....but then again who likes being woke up. I can understand where she is coming from. She likes to stand on top of her little house and try to jump out of the cage. It is quite humerus. First of all she is in a glass cage and they don't really have claws. Second, hamsters can't jump very good. They can get like 1/2 inch off the ground. Last, the cage is a good 6 inches above her house. So now picture her standing on the house trying to jump out. I have never laughed so hard. It was pretty funny. She is bound and determined to get out. But we don't have to worry too much. 
This past weekend we went down to Canterbury Park for the Pro Snocross. It was a blast. Tucker Hibbert pretty much dominated the entire thing.
We had pit passes which was really nice. The guys were able to go on demo rides too. This is one of the racers snowmobiles up close.
The snocross is sponsered by the Air Foce and they had the bike that American Chopper built for them there. It was really cool to see one of those bike up close and personal. They are so big, it's crazy.
