Grandma's Birthday!

When we called Grandma to wish her a Happy Birthday on Saturday morning, we found out she didn't have any plans for a party, so . . . . we threw a few things in the van and headed up to Fergus Falls to celebrate!

Grandma and N baked a birthday cake . . .

And Grandma let the boys help blow out the candles, over and over again!

Then we headed out to a favorite Levang spot - Orwell Dam - for some fishing!

Grandma was in charge of making sure we didn't have to fish N out of the river!
(He's CRAZY about water!)

The fishing was slow until Grandpa hooked a big one - seriously! In the time it took to try to get E over to help Grandpa reel it in, the Northern broke the line and got away. From what we could tell, it was a nice sized fish. E & N now have their first, "The One That Got Away", story!

Rock throwing was also a favorite.

Back at the house, N learned to ride his mom's OLD tricycle.

E finally learned to love swinging! Grandpa had him flying!

And since Grandpa and Grandma don't have a slide, N created one!

It works!

We had a wonderful weekend and loved spending time outside in the beautiful weather! Before I close this post, I just have to share the quote of the weekend.

On Sunday night, we headed out to E's favorite restaurant in Fergus Falls - The Pizza Ranch. N had us all in stitches at the table with his silly antics. He has that contagious kind of giggle that gets everyone going.

On our way home E announced, "Mom, I was going to be naughty, but I was laughing so hard I didn't have time!"

Oh E, we love you - from your rascally personality to your complete honesty! Hopefully, N will keep you laughing so you always stay out of trouble!
