Mari's First day of School

It was a great day! Mari did great. She was so excited and not at all hesitate. Mom had a few moments of tears, can't believe she is old enough for this big adventure but also tears of excitement for Mari.

Here are some pictures from the day.

What a week! Lots of fun times sprinkled with a few ouchies. It was a success-everyone came home with the same number of teeth as when they left and no one went to the hospital!

Tate started off the week by falling out of my bed, nothing like a black eye & some scrapes to start out the week! Ha ha! Mari & Gretta fell countless times, skinned elbows & knees still remain. But a fun time was had by all. I can't even tell you how much fun the kids had with their cousins.

Simon caught a 45 1/2 inch musky (just to clarify that is still smaller than mine HA!) and was so pleased to have another monster musky.

We also celebrated Simon's 32nd birthday. The girls decided daddy needed to have bucks on his cake so we picked out 2 deer for the top of his cake.

Here are some photos from the week, there are more in an album on facebook-(you don't need an account) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=269778&id=512580829&l=db91e52d14
