Fishing with Grandpa Divine

On our last day in Minnesota we went over to Lake Hadley (Dad's old lake) and did a little fishing.  Lauren caught a ton of sunfish, Elise only caught one fish, Dad caught 2 bass and I caught absolutely nothing.

Grandpa had the big catch of the day!

Playtime

After the horses and miniature golfing we headed to a park for a picnic lunch and let the girls run around for a bit.

Horses!

After our 13 holes of golf we spent some time walking around the farm looking at sculptures, feeding horses and chasing goats....

This was an awesome fire pit that you can rent for $20 and you get 3 hours of firewood... how fun would that be?

This is a sweet wooden boat, Dad loved this thing.

This was my favorite sculpture by far, it moved with the wind, the circles go around and it turns... really cool.

A little put-put with the Grandparents

The girls and I spent a few days in Minnesota visiting Grandma and Grandpa Divine while Daddy was in Madison for his dad's surgery.  Grandma found a sculpture garden miniatue golf course and there was a hobby farm there as well... goats, horses and even a few chickens running around.  The place could use a little sprucing up but we had fun and the sculptures were really cool.  Somebody has put a lot of time and money into these sculptures, now if they just used a little round-up, it would be beautiful!

Inside the boat.. hole number 7.

The baby goats were so cute and would just roam around the golf course.

This was a metal "plinko" the golf balls would come down.

I loved this table, the umbrella was so cool.

The Last Day of School

It is May 18th and today is the last day of school. I complained in the beginning of the year when we started school on August 15th but now that it's mid-May and the weather is fabulous, I am glad we are done. I am ready for lazy days (or busy, but only if we choose it) and no schedules.

Elise is now by big 2nd Grader!

My "baby" Lauren is movin' on to First Grade... sniff sniff.

The girls were all so excited because "us parents" haven't let the kids wear flip flops to school for safety reasons but today, we let them and they were so excited.  It's the little things in life that keep them happy.

Giada and Gabbi Grimes, Jayden Davis, Geanie and Gia Bruschetta, Ella Murphy, and the Hubbard girls at the bus stop.  (Nathan Davis was there but he doesn't like his picture taken)

Getting the sillies out... the poor teachers on the last day... it is utter chaos I am sure.
