Fire Department with Ford, Landry, and Lindsay

On Saturday, I went to the annual Hopkins Fire Department Open House with Ford, Landry, and Lindsay. We all got to ride in a fire truck and Ford and I rode twice (once sitting in the front seat with the driver)! They had free food, t-shirts, a slide, trucks to look at, hoses to spray, and more! Ford had an awesome time and especially loved riding in the fire truck on KT's lap....he kept saying "KT - we are in a fire truck!!"

In the front seat!

Sugar Lake

We spent 5 days up at Sugar Lake in Cohasset, MN (near Grand Rapids) last week with Colin's family. It was a blast - we golfed several times, played tennis, and spent a lot of time on the water skiiing, tubing, boating, and being out in the sun. Dexter had an absolute blast - and confirmed that he is not a city dog, but a water dog. He would just lay in the water all day long and whined when someone was not throwing him a ball to swim and retrieve. His new life jacket worked very well and he was able to swim in the middle of the lake =)

Please throw my ball!

Colin's flying lessons

Before we left on vacation to Sugar Lake, I went with Colin to watch his flying lessons. He and his instructor stayed in the pattern, so I got to see him take off and land several times. He's getting closer to his license!!

Dexter's New Life Jacket

We're going up to the King Cabin next weekend and got a new life jacket for Dexter, so we can feel comfortable with him swimming in the middle of the lake and being on the boat!

Super dog!
