Yesterday was the Spooner Rodeo Parade! We love going to it every year – in our opinion it is the perfect small town parade – we always leave it feeling red, white and blue. Good clean fun and dirty tootsie rolls picked up off the street!
Trip to Arlington
We recently took a trip to Arlington to visit family. Some pictures have been added to the website. Enjoy!
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.
Keeping Grandma Out of Jail
Earlier this summer Grandma Annette received a notice from the Arlington Police Department regarding her rampant shrubbery that was overhanging the curb and causing a general hazard to public order. The penalty for not controlling one’s shrubbery by August 1? Up to 90 days in jail! Here are some images from her children coming to the rescue the evening of July 31.
Post-Wiemann-Jacobs Visit
Here are a few more pictures from the Post-Wiemann-Jacobs visit last weekend. We had a full house with Lea Ann, Nina, Sara, Paul, Bev as well as Grandma Annette and Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art. The cold weather didn’t keep the kids from having a squirt gun fight outside.
Forts Folle Avoine Rendezvous
Last weekend was the annual Rendezvous at the Forts Folle Avoine just up the road from our house. As is now traditional the Post family joined us for what turned out to be a few days of fun (and record breaking cold temperatures).
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.
2012 Christmas at the Fort
Forts Folle Avoine, a local fur trade re-enactment attration, hosts a “Christmas at the Fort” event each year. This year we were luck to catch it while Lea Ann, Nina and Sara Post were visiting. Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs also came over for a visit. The weather was beautiful except for the no snow part. That came a day later.
