New Zealand

Luke took a trip to New Zealand for John Deere this summer. Apparently he did spend some time working but I'm still not convinced ;-)

Maquoketa River Flood of 2010

Lots of rain and a washed out dam resulted in some pretty intense flooding around here. Luckily not too many houses with damage...mostly into fields...

That last one is a corn field by the way...

Fun photos

And now for some fun shots from the summer....too many to choose from :-)

Packing and Playing

Helping Daddy pack for his trip to New Zealand

And playing in his new sandbox...

Blondie...

My sandy-brown-haired boy turned into a blondie with the sun this summer :-)

9 Mile and Massey Station

Hanging out at the beach....

Then some playtime at the campground :-)



"I don't know"

My attempts at getting Michael to do his "I don't know" shrug. Too cute not to post some of them :-)

Adventures in finger painting...

I've been wanting to try finger painting with Michael just to see what he would do with it. Well....now we know ;-)

Part 4 (The End)

Yikes - I told we took a lot of pictures!!!! Like I said, we had a lot of time to relax and enjoy ourselves on this vacation. Here's a bunch of pictures from throughout the week. :-)

We found out on this trip that Michael is pretty much fearless. Not only did he love to play with the turtles in Nisswa, but he also loved touching and watching the many fish we caught!

 

And home we go....exhausted ;-)
