OK, the one fan that I have mentioned that I do not post enough things on this blog, so that same fan told me I have to do the description for our activites this weekend. Maybe our next poll question should be "Who should do most of the writing on the kaigem blog, Puff or Grunch?" Anyway, let's get this over with . . . quickly.
As you can see from the posts earlier this week, we were delighted to have Kate in town for the 4th this year. After a breakfast featuring the BEST blueberry muffins on the face of the earth (in the bakers opinion) we all went to the Brookings 4th of July parade. It mostly had firetrucks and ambulances from here and the area communities. Don't they always warn about fires on this date? So what would happen if one did start and the only truck in the fleet was busy passing out candy on Medary Avenue? From the parade we went to the waterpark for the first time since Paige had her tubes put in her ears. Emma was crazy and Kate went down the waterslide "lots of times." After the pool, our next stop was the Uncle Sam Jam Festival. This is put on by the city and offers pony rides, petting zoo, inflatable games, pork b-b-q, face painting, etc. Leave it to an event like this to bring out some of the "finest" in South Dakota folk. Sorry we did not bring a camera that could provide examples. I will say that I only saw three mullets so people are figuring out that this hair style is most certainly NOT cool. The rest of the night was spent at home while Kate went to see fireworks with her friends.
Today, most of the family slept in before heading to a local farm to pick strawberries. I am not sure if more made it in to the box or Emma's mouth, but am sure that about 127 of them ended up smashed on the front of her shirt . . . right before she fell face first in the dirt. She kind of looked like a walking sundae. The bounty was shared with my grandparents, who we saw on their turf for the first time in a while. I think the girls pretty much cleaned out grandma's cookie and milk supply while we were there, so she may appreciate donations to replenish her stock. That brings us up to right now and the fabulously entertaining text that see before you.
We hope you all had a safe and enjoyable weekend as well. Maybe this time next week we will be talking about a new baby boy/girl/future mullet wearer coming into the world??
