Moon Sand

What does 8 Cups Flour & 1 Cup Baby Oil give you???

This fun, clumpy, messy powder that is great for my diggers & dump truck to work in.

 Like I said, it's messy...definitely an outside activity.

Mom made this moon sand a few weeks ago & it is still good. 

We just cover it up at night with a sheet to keep the bug out.

Love, Anders

Thrashing Show 2012

Hi All, A few weekends ago I went to the Amalund Thrashing Show.

 It was a thrashing good time!  HAHA  get it???



2011 Thrashing Show

 

2012 Thrashing Show

Look very closely at the photo from last year & the photo from this year...

 Notice anything???

THEY ARE THE SAME TRACTOR! Don't believe me? Look at the chipped paint on the yellow knobs! How did I ever manage to find the same tractor 2 years in a row to have my photo taken on??? There are literally thousands of tractors there & I pick the same 2 :)

 tractors galore!

There was a tractor Parade with every color tractor you can imagine... Orange & blue



High tractors with swings,

Tractors that really don't look like tractors,

And of course, my Fav, good old Green & Yellow John Deere tractors.

There was an old fashioned saw mill ( Uncle Brad held on to me tight)

I got to saw a log

Look at the intensity on my face... GRRR... I'm Strong!
Here is the thrashing of the oats - it is dusty.

There was chopping too.

A tractor pull ( look at that silly tractor with only one wheel in front)

Auntie Kari got a souvenir board

there were all kind of cool antiques...

Papa & Grandma were there too.

 but do you know, the best part of it all was at the flea market, I found 2 campers!

 XOXO Anders



2 weddings

In the past few weeks, we have had 2 weddings to go to.

The first was for Amy Jane & Mike at a beautiful outdoor pavilion.

Dad was the "wedding talker" & I thought it was boring.

 Aren't we a cute family?

 The Second wedding was for Amanda & Joe... Dad was the wedding talker again.


 

 It was at a cool warehouse boxing ring.

 I didn't go to the boring part, but made an appearance for the dancing!

  and dessert!

 another Family photo

 At 10:00 were were getting ready to leave & I said

 "I want to stay for another hour",

 but I fell asleep on the car ride home.

On both Sunday & Monday I went to a splash pad/playground.  It was fun... not too crowded & had interesting playground equipment.

 Then we went on an adventure walk & ended up down on the Mississippi River.

 I tossed a few rocks in the river.

 & we picked up a few rocks to take home.

Hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
