July/Summer in MN

Truly, there is nothing better than Summer in MN and July is the peak of summer! We have been having so much fun and enjoying every outdoor minute.

Highlights include...

~ KCC (Korean Culture Camp)

~ Craig and Mona's wedding and stag/stagette

~ Backyard music and music in the park (both Tina S and the John Susza Memorial Band)

~ ICE CREAM!

~ New foods, like kimchi carbonara and sushi cake

~ Roadtrip!  Billy and his Meadowbrook friends roadtripped to Yellowstone and the Black Hills. LOTS of adventures including sending Malcom home on a Grey Hound bus with an ear infection, the car breaking down and making a wrong turn at 2 am in the mountains of Montana.

~ Dog cuddles

~ Birds, wildlife and trees

~ Wendy's new tattoo honoring Annemiek, her dad, brother and Lucy

~ Mini martini's

~ Reunion party/dinners with St Louis Park taekwondo and my bonus kids Esa and Ace

~ Dinners with friends from India (Millers) and Korea adoption (VanMeters)

~ Oh, and Kay had strep and a abscess on her tonsil but...at least we've avoided a tonsillectomy (so far, fingers crossed)  

Hope you are all taking in each minute of summer.  Looking forward to August and some actual vacation time at the Cottage in Michigan and Thornes on the North Shore.

Love, peace, sun, water, friends, food and fresh air!!
