Summer Days

Wow....I'm almost caught up. These are photos from July 2008.

'Atta girl! She's already very intelligent...

...and she loves playing with rocks...

...with Auntie Kelsey & Uncle Eric at the Winthrop parade...



...and running through the sprinkler...

...listening to Daddy's iPod...


...and at Rumpza's cabin (thanks for having us Bob & Gail!).

Happy Birthday to Grandma Sue!

Hope you're having fun at the lake!

Love, Rory

Auntie Queen and Princess Baby

A couple of weekends ago we went to Gibbon for their annual Fun Fest and to New Ulm to catch Auntie Princess in the Bavarian Blast parade. Here are some shots from the weekend.

Except for the bite she shared with Kelsey, this li'l girl ate an entire hamburger by herself.

...the dancing queen showing off her moves...

...shout out to Ryley & Sam...
(dude, watch the power lines)

...on to the parade...

...um, what? must be a New Ulm thing...

...yum! getting a free fudgesicle from the Schwan's man...

...and back in Gibbon, Grandpa Darwin drops Kelsey in the most disgusting dunk tank water the world has ever seen.

Bemidji Trip

In late June we traveled to Bemidji for Brian's grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary and the new bank's grand opening celebration. We may have set a record for how many photos we took that weekend.

Here's Rory checking out her daily devotions.

Upside down. In Chinese.

Here she is playing with Charlotte out at the cabin...

I'm just guessing that no one got a shot of this group all looking at the same time...

Here's the toddler version of 'The Wave'...

...and just some random cute shots...

Some water fun in the hotel pool...

...and in the room...

This little patootie is a french fry maniac.

Here's the famed Ring-Around-The-Rosie incident:

(see video of it on Molly's blog: http://bellmontra.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html)

And lastly, some general curtain play and mommy-nose honking.
