Just relaxing from a long weekend. Tomten jam for the big kids and Gma JoJos and Papa Ts for the little kids.
Good times were had up at the Wrenshack, record attendance this year and no rain! The Misgen family came up with gyro's and other delicious goodies. Thanks to all involved with the setup.
Got plenty of pics and vids. Enjoy!
Max and Sam hit up the Pirate Exhibit at the science museum on Friday.
Jerry and Sara enjoying the outside living room. Great creativity by Del and Wayne.
Kelly making her first voyage to the rock fest.
Cousins!
The love log. There was a rumor the love log was going into the fire this year. I didn't see if it survived the next morning. Hopefully it did.
Candidate for worst picture of the night?
Wern not feeling the funny faces pics.
Nerd Alert!
Let's start things off with Wayne, Sid, and Sav doing some J Tull.
Special Hi to Ella and Caleb, who came down this week. I promised Caleb a vid, so here you go buddy!
Well, we managed to make it a few hours without the A/C on. Hot hot hot. Onto some pics of the last weekend. Should be a busy on this week and the following weekend.
Action shot on the new bed. So far so good. Been sleeping in it over a week and hasn't gone over the top rope.
We had to move it to the other side of the room. She's not wee, she's freaking HUGE! Overall we are pleased though. I might even have to take a nap in there to test her out.
Relaxing at Carson's 2nd b day.
The 4th of July gang.
Smiling before they were trounced in every game, sad face.
Weeeeeeeeeeee are the championnnnnnnns!
Pretty obvious that's coach maker guys. Seriously, that was one of the words. What is a coach maker? And no, we weren't so wasted that we lost our ability to read. That didn't come until later.
G ma Jojo brought out the slip and slide. Max did pretty good. I think me and Jerry had more fun though.
Look at that form! Straight as an arrow.
Decided to forgo fireworks on the 4th and make our own show. You get a pretty decent bundle for $10. We got 2 nights out of it.
Me no likely fireworks.
Video of the week coming from the ladies of First Aid Kit:
Hopefully we should have some good vids for you next week!
Been throwing some weekday posts at you, hopefully you have been checking daily like you should! What's new with the Strehlo's? Glad you asked. Just got back from a trip to Duluth and our dogs are barking a bit. You young folks can look up that phrase. Good times were had by all, Max even cried when we started leaving. This was after on the way up that he said he would rather spend the night with Uncle Eric. Well, enough talk, onto the pics. Even have a special video for our newest blog reader, though I'm not sure this music is everyone else's cup of tea.
Pre Duluth stop to the Grand Ol Creamery with Martin & co.
Ice Cream kisses, Max went marshmellow, I went pistachio.
Sara practicing with life with 2 kids.
Checking out the goats and chickens after a meal at the Gasthuas. Notice the giant hole Max is about to fall into. Great carpentry work there.
Sorry Wayne and Dell, not this time! Only a few more weeks until the big Tomten jam. Good times are officially a'comin.
Emptying the plates after the Duluth Grill. Highly recommended, good stuff. Locallly grown ingredients for my crunchy folk.
The falls. Lot more intense than last time. Guessing the 8 inches of rain helped that out.
Max with one of his many goofy smiles.
Split Rock Lighthouse. Might have been the highlight of the trip. Nice and fairly empty, great weather. That was the first time I remember being there.
Hanging out in Canal Park
The Rose Garden
The only mommy daddy pic. Check out those sweet orange lenses!
Max running the train.
Daddy's turn.
Thought this was a pretty cool logo.
And this a pretty cool car.
Running around in the train. Mom didn't care for the tight spaces.
Capping the trip off with one more crazy smile picture.
Well folks we missed a monumental post last time out. According to the good people at blogger.com, this is our 151st post. I guess we'll have to wait until #200 to get a good celebration going. Look for that in 2029. What's new with the Strehlo's you ask? Well, not a whole lot. Just enjoying summer, got a couple trips planned. Should be good stuff. Well, onto the pics!
Cooking time with Ma
Too Loud
The best of the Joe and Max Pics
Max & Martin. The Schunk family stopped by quickly on Saturday and of course we didn't get any picutres. Their new dog was basically an Otis twin too.
The review of the week: Drive
Had high hopes for this one based on critics, word of mouth, etc. Let me save you the trouble- LAME! didn't like it one bit. The fam watched the muppets this weekend too. Wasn't expecting much going into it, but i was pleasantly surprised, two thumbs up.
Video of the Week: Angel from Montgomery. John Prine tune, many covers, but I think Bonnie does it best.
Here is yours truly giving it a shot. Posted another new song and some more vids of Max.
