Riding Kid
Three of the Shecklets met Nana at the stable for some horse back riding.
The afternoon ended in a deluge of water falling from the sky, so only Kid was rode. Next time we’ll give Rio a try.

County Fair 2016
We met my parents at the local county fair tonight. It’s just the right size for us – not a ton of walking between exhibits, which makes for happy kids. After grabbing a bite to eat and going on a few rides, we watched the tractor pull. Afterward, the older three Shecklets went into the pits to check out the vehicles.
Down by the U
Shecklet #2 participated in a research study at the Institute of Child Development his morning. After the appointment, I took the kids to Annie’s Parlour in Dinkytown and then we walked across the Stone Arch Bridge – yes, on one of the hottest days of the year!
Plant Nite
Kari invited her mom and sisters out for a Plant Nite to celebrate her birthday. Larissa couldn’t make it, but the rest of us had a fun time!
Blue for a boy!
My brother and sister-in-law and niece are adding a new baby to their family this fall! We found out what they are having after biting into cupcakes at the splash pad today.
Safety camp
Incoming 4th graders have an opportunity to attend a 2-day safety camp through the city. It received two thumbs up from Shecklet #1. His younger brother is excited to attend next summer. 🙂
Purple hair
When I was in college, I dyed my hair auburn. Apparently in the right light, it looked purple. A roommate of mine called me “Purple hair Roni” as a result. Flash forward a few years and I actually dyed my 5 1/2 year old’s hair purple. Real purple. Purchased by Auntie Kari 💜 It turned out great and Shecklet #3 has had so much fun with it.
