The kids' newest toy! Its huge!!! They went in yesterday after they got home from thier last day of school. The temp was only 64 degrees but they insisted! The pool was just filled too, so that water was very very COLD! (Its not really green water, not sure why it looks that way)
Look how cold Mr. T looks!!! And Danibelles cheeks are so rosy!
Dumb kids...
Adam did not win American Idol...Wahoo!
Ok thats not the results I was thinking of... I apparently do NOT have Lupus.
Which means... I was kicked out of the Air Force unneccessarily.
After 18 years of being told there was nothing that can be done about my face...
After 18 years of being told I absolutely need to stay out of the sun...
After 18 years of avoiding most fun summer time activities...
After 18 years of hiding from cameras...
It was all a bunch of B.S!
I was given some medication that "may help" (after already trying countless different kinds),
but that particular medication causes vision problems...with my current vision problems I dont dare try the medication. I am angry. I am frustrated. And I am bitter.
Watch out Doogie Howser...
As I have said earlier, my computer has been broken down. I was unable to access any blog sites anywhere. My computer would shut off while taking important tests for school... It was virtually useless to me for such a long long time... So, to get my mind off of that issue, Mark took us to visit Lake Superior's North Shore. I grew up about an hour from Lake Superior but had never gone to see the sights. We went before tourist season began and found reduced rates at an awesome resort/hotel. The place is called Superior Shores in Two Harbors Minnesota. So many friendly people in one spot! We were even allowed to bring Radar along for the weekend!
He was one of the first friendly faces to greet us when we arrived late on friday night.
Look at that chandelier! Have you ever seen anything more amazing?!? That is an elk and I think a caribou watching over the lobby.
A great big stone fireplace welcomed us in from the chilly lake front.
This little guy (the brown furry one) was Radars favorite attraction.
This little bridge was the pathway from the resort to the beach. The kids and I snuck out early in the mornings...we were collecting a whole boxful of agates!
The beach at the resort. Tylen was getting rock skipping lessons. A theme that played out everywhere we went.
We went to visit the Split Rock Lighthouse. The beach at the resort. Tylen was getting rock skipping lessons. A theme that played out everywhere we went.
Hiking at Split Rock State Park.
Everywhere we went, we looked at the rocks. We even drove right through one! Amazing!!
This in a bend in the Baptism River. Right around this bend, the river calms and opens into Lake Superior. Very beautiful!
The trees were growing right out of the rocks at Gooseberry Falls!
More rock skipping and agate hunting where Baptism river and Lake Superior meet.
The kids at Gooseberry Falls.

I have missed you all so much! My computer has been having a few "issues". I have battled and battled an inumerable amount of virus'... Ok I didnt do any actual battle, but I did call the computer squad 3 or 4 times! They did get me fixed up some tonight, but apparentally I need some more work with the "level 3" guys. Which may not come for another 24 hours! But, in the mean time, I am able to say hello, Ive been so lonely with out you.
So so so lonely. I am going to have to spend the next few weeks scouring all your blogs so that I can catch up. But I will, I promise I will!
