Well summer is here and we are soaking up the summer sun. You really have to take advantage of the nice days in North Dakota or you might blink and summer will be over. Miles loves being outside. His daycare provider gets him out when ever she can. We also spend our weekends looking for opportunities to get out. Two weekends ago Grammie Julie visited us and we spent some time in the back yard. We tested out our new splash pool that was an early birthday present from Grandma Kross. We also went to the community pool for a swim, it was packed with all the kids who are out of school.

We have gotten the pool out lots because like I said, you have to get outside any opportunity you get.

Last weekend we went to Kite Fest here in Jamestown. We packed a picnic lunch, put Hayduke in the truck, and had a great time having lunch in the breeze and admiring the kites. This is a fun event they have every year. Something you wouldn't think would draw a lot of people, but it does. People come from all over to show off their kites, and there were some impressive ones. One giant whorly-gig thing, a big teddy bear, a gator, and lots of these little ground kites like a crab and turtle that look like they are crawling along the ground when they catch the wind.

We have also had friends over a few times for grilling burgers.

So come on up for a visit. It is beautiful here right now. We have lots of room and be sure to bring your bathing suite so you can have a go in the splash pool with Miles. We hope everyone is enjoying their summer, we sure are.
