Overdue Post from August






To celebrate the last week of summer and before school and fall activities start - we took a trip up to the cabin last week. It was a shortened week; only being there between Friday and Wednesday morning, but as always - we had lots of great family times. Our helper Kelsey was there with us too. A few of the highlights captured in pictures.

A trip to the Taconite plant in Two Harbors for a factory tour; we got to see how they make taconite pellets from the iron ore mined in Babbitt. Very interesting. Also, Anne seemed to have put away all her fears of vehicles, she rode on the 3 wheeler, 4 wheeler and was a huge sport to ride in the canoe as well. Sam took his first kayak solo trip on Delay Lake and did great. A morning spent at the beach in Beaver Bay, lots of campfires and s'mores and a great time was had by all.

Little Girls





We had the privilege of being with family and attending the 2012 Albert City Threshermens show this past weekend. One of the highlights was seeing family and visiting Karens' mom - who is a resident of the Pleasant View Nursing Home. We brought a musical extravaganza. The little kids sang songs and danced; Daniel played piano, Andrew juggled to fiddle music and the multi-talented Brown boys dazzled with their guitar, mandolin and fiddle playing. A few fun photos to remember the day.
