Summer, summer, summertime. (Summertime!)

Oops.  Didn't realize it's been a month since I've posted last.  Well, here's the short list of what the Knutsons have been up to since I wrote last:


1.  We went to Stella's 5th birthday party.  The tire swings will forever go down in infamy.  ;)
2.  We went to a family reunion on the same farm that Grandma Knutson grew up on.  The kids loved the big tree swing, the tractors, and a hay bale ride around Owatonna.
3.  We spent the 4th of July holiday up north going fishing at Grandpa Bob's cabin on Lake Kabetogama.  Aunt Amanda and Uncle Frank were there, too! Becky caught 1 single fish the entire trip - impressive.  Madeline caught her first fish - with lots of help from Grandpa.  Henry confirmed his love of Smores and discovered the joy of smoke bombs.
4.   Becky went to Ireland for the week, and the kids went to Grandma and Grandpa Knutsons.  Daddy got to hang out in a quiet, empty house.
5.  We went to Maple Grove Days!  It was gorgeous weather and the kids jumped around on the inflatable jumpers, petted some little animals, and rode around on a train.
