Arlington and the Sibley County Fair

Now that we’ve been back from vacation for a while the process of sorting though vacation pictures begins.    There is less of a backlog this year than in the past but still – these pictures from the Sibley County Fair in Arlington Minnesota are from August 1.

Kai and Nora both insisted on wearing their Packer Jerseys into Viking country.  It is strange because they also have Viking jerseys.  I guess they just like to stir the pot.

Christmas at the Posts

On a visit to Arlington we celebrated an early Christmas at Lea Ann and Steven Post’s.    Also there was Annette Wiemann and Paul and Bev.    Kai and Nora had a sleepover with Nina and Sara which they had been eagerly anticipating for a week.  Enjoy the pictures.

A Visit to Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann’s

Happy New Year Everyone!  We wish everyone a healthy and happy 2011. Today’s gallery is of our visit to Arlington, Minnesota to visit Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann.  We stopped by the Mall of America a couple of days after Christmas (won’t make that mistake again) where we saw Yogi Bear in 3D (our first 3D movie in the theater).   Nora was not overly impressed but the producers of the film clearly nailed the demographic that Kai is smack dab in the middle of.  He couldn’t have enjoyed it more.   After the movie we went to an overcrowded Build-a-Bear workshop where Kai and Nora blew their Christmas money.   Enjoy the pictures!

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!
