Lots of Smiles

 

Okay Marathon locals, anybody know what the story is behind the shoes and how long have they been hanging here by Rib Falls?  Every time I take the kids to the park, I wonder.....

What a beautiful day we had today!  Weather was great!!  Sounds like the whole week will be similar!  Today, Marathon had a teacher in-service day, so Carter was able to spend the day with Carlee and I again today.  Took a trip to the library and picked up some good books for the kids and me.   We took a trip to the park, played a few games and just had some fun together!

Last week while at Rhonda and Larry's, we learned how to make sauerkraut.  It was a neat experience, but we have to go back in about 20-some days to finish the project.  Thanks guys....always love learning something new.

Looks like Carlee is really listening to Grandpa.

I had to get the "bumble bee" out to change Carter's mood.

Love his real smile...

But she did listen when I told her to give Taelyn a hug.  :-)

Carter has such a fun & happy smile here.  Love it!

Carter and I ended our day with a little bean bag toss.

Carter's funny face!  He was trying to pout, but just couldn't.  (Mom knows how to make him smile!)

Get out and enjoy the weather this week!!
