Lake Minnetonka boat ride
The Hermanson clan gathered in Delano for a family picture before departing on a private cruise of Lake Minnetonka for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. It was beautiful and probably the biggest surprise was how much fun all the kids had. My sister played the part of Julie from the Love Boat, being the cruise director and providing a personlized "How well do you know Don and Jan" crossword puzzle and a cute coloring page for the little ones to make for Grandma and Grandpa. She also wrote and read a very nice poem... which of course made some of us cry. Then later we headed back to Steve's house for a slide show I put together of old slides which also made some of us cry but really only tears of laughter.
Summer 2010
This has been one fantastic summer! Even though we had a lot of rainy days, we really had one of the warmest summers I can remember. These pictures are a very small sampling of the fun we had. Lussi went to the Hartley nature camp in June and then spent the next four weeks learning to swim at UMD. She went from barely putting her face in the water to trying to do the front crawl and able to backstroke. The girls spent two days a week at Jody's house which turned out to be a great schedule for them and I. Jody let Lussi tye-dye the t-shirts and socks in the picture and they did all kinds of crafts, water balloons and slip and slide. We went camping to Herbster in August and the girls loved it. Last year when we went camping we had to drive Sofia to sleep for fear that she might wake up the whole place but this year she even put herself to bed one night. They also had soooo much fun with cousin Silo. (There will be pictures when we get them form Souliyahn) Sofia also is officially out of diapers and doing everything on her own, except the wiping. It took longer than Lussi but Lussi always needed potty reminders and diapers at night, where Sofia is a one woman show and doesn't need diapers for naps or night time.
Well, it's hard to believe the summer is over, it went so fast! School starts Tuesday for Lussi and thus officially ending the summer fun.
