first day of fourth grade

 We are very excited to be back at school.

 This summer just flew by, but we managed to get plenty of fun in....

...like the Ye Old Mill at the State fair. 

 ...And a trip up to Lutsen.

 Including what started out as a terrifying ride on the Alpine slide that turned out to be pretty terrific by the end of it.

 Time for a #FBF from our time at the edge of the pond. 

From one side to the other and back again.

 The second leg of our ultimate summer vacation has us picking 
wild strawberries by the sea in Rossö Sweden.

 We have also done our fair share of crab fishing.

 Grilling and feasting.

And many, many games of Kubb.
