Canterbury Park - Shakopee, MN

Karson, Mom and our friend "Auntie" Betsy

Karson had his first visit to the horse track today. He watched all the races, helped Grandma pick which numbers to bet on, had a pony ride, petted many horses and cheered while they were racing. We had a great family day!

Happy 40th Anniversary Grandpa & Grandma Kolb

With the help of family and friends, we were able to pull off a great surprise anniversary party for G & G Kolb. We had a wonderful time with everyone!

The Kolb crew comes to shore while the rest of the party attenders wait on shore to cheer and celebrate.

Surprise!!!

Good conversation and laughs

Sandbox & Jungle Gym

Karson's new play area went from a very neglected, weed infested garden to a gigantic sandbox with a jungle gym so kindly given to us by Uncle Patrick & Aunt Jen.

Dad tries out the new slide after moving the jungle gym from White Bear Lake to our house.

Cousins Andrew & Jeremy say good bye to the jungle gym and show Karson his new play area.

Karson's First Time Babysitting

Karson helped mom babysit Zoey, our friend's daughter. We kept her in the evening for a few hours. Karson helped me feed her a bottle before bedtime. For the rowdy boy he is, he was very gentle with her. She slept in Karson's pak-n-play. He had to go check on her a few times before he went to bed and in the morning when he got up he went to see if she was still there. Who thinks Karson is ready for a little brother or sister?? He probably is but not sure mommy and daddy are yet.

4 Wheeling Fun

Not bad for his first time riding on a 4 wheeler alone! This new set of wheels showed up at Grandma Pat's house.

Last Sunday we went to White Bear Lake, MN to celebrate cousin Andrew's birthday. We enjoyed the nice day with family. It didn't take long for Karson and Katie to become friends.
