Fishing Clinic

Back in June our friend Ben (sponsored by Bass Pro Shop and a few others) and the lake Marina put on a fishing clinic for the kids.  It was so much fun despite the rainy weather.  They put a lot of effort into this clinic and the kids had a blast.  They even got their own fishing goodie bag and a brand new pole at the end.  They learned about water safety, lures, bait, and casting.  Liv was a bit young for it but tagged along and did a few of the activities.  What a great opportunity for the kiddos.

Liv J's first hair cut

At the beginning of June I took Liv to get her first haircut.  Her hair is very different than Harper's.  It has a sweet curl to the bottom and is very fine.  It was getting rather long and we decided it was time to get her first hair cut.  She did amazing in the chair and was so cute posing afterward.  Our hairdresser has a son a year older than Harper so the girls love to go get their hair cut so they can play with him.  Harper had a little meltdown when we left because she didn't get enough time with him.  We are working on transitioning better when leaving friends and Harper is getting better at it.  The biggest factor is how tired she is but she is like her momma and doesn't ever want the fun to end:)

polish days continued

After we enjoyed the parade we spent the weekend fishing, boating, and enjoying the sunset.  The evening time when the sun is setting is one of my favorite times at the lake.  I wish I could bottle it up and take it to "the city" with me:)  I cherish those moments and yearn for the next.  Blessed to have this getaway spot to enjoy all summer long. 

Polish Days

The first weekend in June is polish days at the lake.  (in Loup City) We always love to go to the parade.  The girls love to see the floats and run for the candy.  Harper especially loves to eat the candy.  We met Granny (my grandma) there to watch the festivities.  (my mom was in Spain at my cousin's wedding so we missed her attendance)  The "tub" which is a boat that has been in our family since the late 60's was in the parade this year.  It was refurbished thanks to my uncle Tim and is in the water this season for all day/night fun.  I have A LOT of memories of this boat throughout my life at the lake jumping off the top, late night rides, and great family time.  It was fun to see it shining bright in the parade.  The theme this year was "outdoor" fun and oh how I have had outdoor fun on The Tub.  I am excited for our girls to make memories on the tub too!  (Harper jumped off the top for the first time last weekend;)
