Papa and Grandma in Indiana

Papa and Grandma drove back to Indiana with us! During their visit we discovered blueberry picking just 1 mile from our house.

We took Papa and Grandma to the farmers market.

And while they were here, I decided I didn’t need training wheels any more.  Dada removed them and I was off!

2013-07-14 No training wheels! 004

I really liked having Papa and Grandma here.  I missed them terribly when they left.

2013-07-02 On our way to MN 004

No we didn’t walk there but we drove and enjoyed a little hike along the way.

I drew everything I saw along the way and was eager to show Papa and Grandma when we arrived.

When we arrived at the lake, I was literally a fish in the water. (Okay an Orka, not a fish;)

One of the trip highlights… fishing!  Uncle Al took me fishing… “real fishing” and we caught dinner!

I loved watching him filet the fish… I asked Mama to take pictures of every fish he fileted (the most well documented fish filet ever)

I had my first tube ride and used my first set of training skis.
