No school pictures

Ok, so I keep forgetting to take pictures of Katie in the morning before school.  We WILL do it tomorrow...then it will be Will's first day and Katie's third.....

In the meantime, here are some pictures of when we visited Itasca State Park!



Walking across the Mississippi.....John helped Katie walk across the rocks so she wouldn't get too wet.

Then, being the good dad he is, John came BACK to help Will across the rocks. 
 (Hey, I was holding the camera!)

And here would be John climbing out of the water after he slipped of a rock. 
But notice how dry the kids look!


Riding bikes on the trails....John and Will are up ahead.

Nothing better than ice cream after a 3 mile bike ride!

100 foot tall fire tower.
I was a little shaky on the way up....not wanting to go up to the top and not wanting the kids to go to the top.  After stating this, Will yelled "I'M GOING TO THE TOP!"  Ok.
I did get there - just after the other 3.



....If I stayed low, I didn't have to look over the edge. :)

Nice to see the courageous family at the top of the tower - and crossing the Mississippi on foot. Really great pictures. Congrats to the photographer!

Also I'm not sure kids really are in in school until after the first day pics are a thing of the past.

(gosh who could this be)

It was harder trying not to trip coming down! Since you could see through the holes in the steps all the way to the bottom. Going up, you just keep looking right in front of you....not up or down. :)
