Weddings, Grand Forks and Zuchini

So here are a few pictures from our summer so far. Sorry they are out of order and I don't have the patients to move them today. But here's what's been happening in our lives. June 30th marked the wedding of Nath's baby sister Rach to Eric Fehr. It was a beautiful wedding, and we had a lot of fun. The boys were ring bearer's and wore the Washington Capitals hockey jerseys to walk down the aisle barefoot with Oma, while the band played an acoustic version of "Jesus loves me" It was so sweet. We had a little mini vacation this past weekend when we went to Grand Forks for a couple of nights at the Holiday Inn. The boys had a blast splashing in the pool and Mom and Dad had fun shopping at Target. When we got home from our holiday we discovered that our garden hadn't wilted in the heat like I was thinking it might. Instead it flourished. Zuchini and Pumpkin plants have almost taken over the entire garden. We even had two zuchini which could be picked. I guess zuchini really love the weather because they tripled in size in the three days that we were gone! It has been so fun for the boys (and me) to watch our garden grow. We harvested our two zuchini today as well as a hand full of sugar snap peas and a strawberry. We also pulled two carrots but they have a bit of growing to do still. They were only big enough for one bite each, but they were still delicious! So that's what we've been up to. We are looking forward to spending time at the Brereton Lake cabin with Nath's family in August, but I think that's about it for our summer.

Here's the zuchini that we picked from the garden.
