Twin's Game

We had a family outing to the new Twins stadium (Target Field). It was a nice summer day and a fun game. Twins won in a quick 2 hour game against Seattle.

When Amelia was asked her favorite part of the game it seemed to be a toss up between nachos and Ma Becky.

Amelia's Birthday at Ma Becky's

We headed up to Minnesota to see a Twins game and celebrated Amelia's birthday with Ma Becky, Grandpa Jim & Uncle Mark. We also got to visit Ikea . . . it's amazing how absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Amelia's favorite gift was a Wiggles book that plays Wiggles songs. It made the drive home nice.

Ohio Part 2 - Scarff Family Reunion

The Scarff Family Reunion was great fun. Amelia and Daddy fed the neighbor's horses carrots, and we enjoyed seeing the family again. Amelia tried out a slip and slide for the first time and loved it.

Ohio Part 1

We went to Ohio for Kevin's family reunion, stopping in Muscatine on the way where Amelia and Tom had fun together.

In Ohio we had lots of fun hanging out with "Ma Becky" (as she is now known) and her family. We visited Uncle Bill's house and Young's Farm.

Grandma Marilyn's Birthday

Grandma joined us for dinner on her actual birthday. Amelia's started to practice blowing out candles.

Boat

On the one great weather day of July 4th weekend, we rented a boat on Big Creek with some friends. Amelia enjoyed herself, and I don't think it was all to do with discovering Cheetos for the first time.

Grandma Marilyn's 60th

This weekend we celebrated Grandma Marilyn's 60th a little early, hiring a boat on the Mississippi in Muscatine.
