Rice County Fair 7/25/10


We started our journey at the Rice County Fair (in Faribault) in the 4-H food booth. Katja was sure there was a hot dog under all that cornmeal breading.

Maren petting her favorite horse - Aloha.


We had to go all the way to the Rice County Fairgrounds to meet President Obama.


Katja found a stuffed Pink Panther just her size.


Maren, Luella and Katja playing with the bean bag toss.


Just outside the commercial building, there was a landscaped area. The girls loved playing in the water.


In the land management building, we checked out the fish.


Taking a break to watch the Banana Derby where monkeys ride dogs around a track. Maren said it was the wrongest thing she'd ever seen. It was very silly.


Cotton candy is the fair treat for good behavior. Luella and Katja know that well, Maren reaping the benefits too!


At home, the girls painted each other's toes. Here Katja's are pinkish-purple.


Luella loves her green, yellow and blue toenails!


Isaac showing off his fort in the basement.

Dad shows Luella and Anna how to milk a cow.

Katja gets her first pony ride and Luella is on her third pony ride. They love riding ponies!

Here's the Banana Derby.

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
