Cheese Fest 2007

Daddy, Cailin and Drew went down to Pine Island to attend the 2007 annual Cheese Festival. (Mommy was busy scrapbooking for the weekend with Auntie Wanda, Auntie Buzzy, Kayla and Auntie Rhonda in Ham Lake) They arrived in Pine Island on Saturday and hit the Cheese Fest. They went on the rides, seems Cailin liked the Train ride best - "Grandma too!" she reported to me, that Grandma rode on the train too. They toured the Fire Station, which Cailin LOVED being that close to the fire engines. They had fair food, including but not limited to....corn dogs - YUM!






Sunday was a bit rainy, they had intended to hit the big parade, but naps got in the way. Grandpa and Grandma rode their John Deere Tractors in the parade and then they all hit the fair again after the parade was over, and naps were done. Sounds like everyone had a blast!!

Daddy's Birthday

Daddy recently had his birthday. We celebrated at home and had cake and of course sang the "Happy Birthday" song. Daddy actually celebrated a few times with different family members, so he also got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen (other than the Banana Cream Pie that Oma made). Cailin thought that every time we had a piece of the ice cream cake, like for the next week, that we had to put candles on and sing the birthday song each time. So we've sung the birthday song for quite some time, as now, EVERY time we have any sort of cake or anything resembling a cake, she wants to go through the same routine. She's quite the character! And Drew's birthday is coming up, so I'm guessing we'll be singing that song for quite a few months here......
