What a view

This is the view from my uncle and aunt's back porch. The Mississippi River snakes through the back of their property and provides a beautiful backdrop. Jason spent one morning on the mower; he enjoys helping around the farm when we go up to visit.
It's raining in this picture. June is a rainy month, but the rain didn't keep us away from outdoor fun. We went four wheeling and fishing in between the rain showers.

Fishing Fun

We always try to get in some fishing when we visit Minnesota. Uncle Jim and Auntie Let have a pontoon boat in the Mississippi River, so we spent most of our time fishing from the boat.
Jason caught two Northern Pike and I caught four Northern Pike from the river. They are very tasty to eat!


The last night we were in Minnesota, we went to the secret lake (sorry, I can't spill the beans about which lake it is) and caught 30 fish in about 30 minutes. The bait was only in the water about 15 seconds between bites. It took well over an hour to clean all the fish that night. I wish all fishing trips were that exciting!

Red Rock Canyon

Last week we went to Las Vegas for vacation and to celebrate our 9th anniversary. We hiked in Red Rock Canyon the last day there. The weather was in the low 70s, so it was the perfect day for an outdoor activity. Even Jason said he enjoyed the hike. For a ugly desert, this was a beautiful area! I would love to go back for more hiking.


Matt and Molly went with us on our trip. Here we are hiking down a steep hill that was off the trail. It was a lot more fun to go exploring off the trail than it was to follow the path.

Sweet Berry Farms



Last weekend we went to Sweet Berry Falls in Marble Falls. It was fun!




Garage Construction






We're almost done with the garage construction. Here are some pictures of the process.

Beasley's lazy weekend



Beasley loves the porch swing. He can see everything going on in the front yard without having to leave the porch.
