Valley Fair, August 2009

We spent Saturday at Valley Fair with a big crew (G & G Kolb, G & G Wersal, Pat, Jen, Andrew, Jeremy, Mike, Tami, Noah, Kaleb, Isaac, Derrick & Rachel).
Grandma Sandy's work sponsored the event with free passes and a nice lunch.
Everyone had a great time. The water park looked awesome but it was only about 70 degrees.
There was a huge foam ball play center that Karson and the other boys really liked. In fact, I think some of the adult boys liked it too.
One of the highlights of the day was Grandpa Beef getting on the carousel and then trying to get off!

Community Days, Lonsdale, MN 2009

Community Days is the local town festival in Lonsdale where our cafe is located. Karson was amazed when he watched the "Kiddy Car Cruise" as there were tons of little motorized cars zipping by. We served food outside and enjoyed the activites.

Yet Another Weekend of Softball - Winona, MN

We spent last weekend in Winona, MN which is a beautiful area. Dad played in the District tournament, Karson and I watched, cheered and clapped. He has discovered bats, gloves, sunflower seeds, picnic tables and much more! The hotel we stayed at had a little kiddie pool area that was fun for Karson to walk around, sit down and splash in.

Swingin'

Pete hung a swing up at Grandma Pat's house. We go to the park in town often to swing too.

Another Weekend of Fun-Filled Softball Games

Karson just loves the ball park. He crawls all over the grass in between fields, swings in the park, pulls himself up on the fences and watching all the action. We spent the weekend watching Papa Pete play with his men's team. They didn't quite take the chip home like Mom's team but it was still a good time.

1st of Many Softball Tournaments

We started at 8am Sat morning, played 6 games with no losses and took the championship!

Karson kicks back for a nap during mom's softball tournament this past weekend. He often has both his feet up in on the stroller in a real laid back position. So far he likes all the action of the softball games. It wore him out, he slept like a rock through the night.

Mmm...good stuff! He spent most of the day at the ball park with family while I played ball.
