Hi All!
Wow, I write these posts in retrospective obviously and it's so fun to relive the family memories and experiences. I don't expect anyone to really follow along except for us. I write this blog for Olivia and Quinn to someday download and keep to reference fun family experiences and milestones.
Anyhow, this blog is titled Lake People, Part 1 because we closed out the month of May just after school let out in Minnetonka, MN visiting my sister Chandra and her family. It was really fun! We schlepped the dog and the bikes up there because THE THING to do in the Minne area is definitely biking to a cool spot and hanging out and eventually jumping in a lake! :)
Backing up a bit, we skied at Big Sky in late March which involved a lot of hot chocolate (and apres ski beer!). Jason and Quinn went to a hockey tourney in early April which makes it kind of fun for whoever is home to plan some fun nights out. In Tampa, Quinn won the MVP title and his team took first :) Also, they were able to catch a Tampa Bay Lightening NHL game which was very memorable!

We also went to Universal Studios over Easter Weekend which I somehow I have ZERO pictures of but it was super fun (I'll never forget the Popeye ride that soaked us to the bone first thing on of the mornings also the big tube drop waterslide at Volcano Bay that Mom bravely went first on!).
In Quinn's grade at St Paul's, the big 3rd grade "parent" project is to create a rainforest animal that is lifesize and realistic. Jason always goes all in for these projects which I do appreciate -- for this one, he learned to use the sewing machine and I pitched in with some hand stitching ;). I think the Capuchin Monkey we all created turned out great. I absolutely LOVE this picture of Quinn the day he dropped it off at school.
