225:365 Lewis & Clark State Park

We spent the weekend at the lake with Brandy's family and her in-laws. The guys all got up early to go fishing and we stayed at camp. The fog started rolling in across the lake just after the sun started to rise. It was a beautiful thing to see happen.

224:365 6 Years Old

Guess who turned 6 years old today! We met Brandy's family up at Lewis & Clark State park to help celebrate his birthday. We bought him a new bike for his birthday. I tried to hide it in the camper until we had his birthday cake and opened presents later in the day, but his little sister saw it in there and told him right away. She's definitely not a secret keeper, but that's OK. He was pretty happy with the new bike.

223:365 Quentin & Joyce

I love this photo of Quentin and Joyce. They are just so cute. We met the cousins from the Spitzer side of the family in Medora last Thursday. There were a few there that I had never met, and some that we only see every few years. Quentin, Joyce, Jeff and I for an ice cream and a little shopping before it was time to meet everyone for supper. I love their smiles.

Boy did we have a good supper tonight. Green beans, carrots, cucumbers (pickled), beets (pickled) and a few grape tomatoes right out of the garden. Yum.

I spent the afternoon in Bismarck today running errands. Jeff's cousins were all meeting for supper, so I decided to stay down instead of drive home then turn around and drive back. That gave me about an hour and a half to go for a walk along the river, and I took the camera with me. This butterfly was flitting around one of the flower gardens enjoying the afternoon as much as I was.

220:365 Beets

I pulled some of the beets today, but I'm hoping that the rest will still keep growing. I really want to learn to make pickled beets yet this fall.
