Annivesary Retreat

We celebrated our 8th anniversary by going to the Inn at Timbercove in Ashland, WI. We went there for our honeymoon and returned every summer until we got the cabin, so it had been a couple years since we'd been there. My parents watched the kids so Steve and I could have a relaxing weekend. My favorite thing to eat for breakfast in the whole wide world. Brazilian pancakes. When Tina publishes her cookbook, I will be the first one to buy it so I can get this recipe!

We stayed in the Guest House.

Their two dogs Dolly and Jim accompanied us on walks in the woods and mealtimes on our porch.

Love the view.

We went to Bayfield on Saturday and ate a picnic lunch by the harbor.

Visit from Texas

My cousin Ana and Aunt Terry from Texas spent some time in MN in early June. D and M loved playing in the water with Ana.

We spent the next weekend at the cabin with Chino and Mercedes. She taught me how to make the most awesome dish, enchiladas verdes.  Num!

 

 

 

Chino helped Steve put up new screen on the porch.

 

 

Can you tell which side they worked on?  What a difference!

M made ramps for his cars with the leftover pieces.

The Last Week of School/Kindergarten

D had her dance recital the Wednesday of the last week of school. They look ready to perform!

On Friday, the last day of kindergarten, D's school held an Olympic-themed field day. D's class represented the country of Taiwan and they had to wear the flag's colors.

Going through the obstacle course.
