A Family Visit

A week after we arrived, Forts Folle Avoine held their annual Rendezvous where they reenact the fur trade from the early 1800’s.   On that same weekend we a visit from Aunt Lea Ann with Cousin Nina and Cousin Sarah along with Uncle Paul and Bev.   Both sets of Grandparents also attended and it was a real treat to have everyone together.  Kai and Nora enjoyed having a full house and especially having some other kids around to play with.   It was a great weekend!

The New Fireplace

Our big project this summer was getting a fireplace installed in the house.  We really like the way it turned out.  On a warm humid day it doesn’t seem like such an accomplishment but when winter rolls in we are really going to appreciate it.   Here are a few photos of the install process.
