Our second week of summer vacation continued to be busy and full of new adventures (and crazy weather)...
Presley and Canyon are participating in golf leagues and/or lessons this summer. Canyon golf nines holes every Monday morning at 10:20 with three of his buddies at Halla Greens. While he may not be good at golf yet, he enjoys the bonding time with his buddies. "Yeah, I am not very good. I had a blast though." On Tuesdays, Presley takes lessons at Bent Creek with a couple of her friends. Each week, they work on a new skill. The first week was putting. Mom is also getting back into golf with some new clubs and new lessons. Looking forward to this family activity in the future.
This week Mom went with her buddy, Stacy, to see American Authors, the Script, and One Republic at the Target Center. Great show and fun girls night out...
Canyon is playing baseball this year on the 12AAA Eden Prairie travel team. He primarily plays 3rd base and catcher. This week we played in Minneapolis. The game was called short because the lights weren't working. But we ended on a high note with our first summer ice cream from an ice cream truck...
We have gotten a crazy amount of rain this week. Rivers are overflowing, basements are flooding and lakes are at an all time high. We had relief from the rain on Friday and ventured out to Bryant Lake. The lake was so high that the umbrellas that are normally in the sand were in the water and the docks were underwater. Canyon and a buddy had fun paddle boarding across the lake while Mom and Presley kayaked. It was nice because the lake was "no wake", which means no speeding boats so the kids enjoyed swimming and playing in the middle of the lake as well. Ran into some friends, enjoyed lunch, and enjoyed our first summer day to the beach...
This weekend, we had a rare "activity free" and beautiful summer day. We took a family bike ride from Lake Nokomis to Minnehaha Falls along Minnehaha Creek. The waterways were bursting, which made for an adventurous ride. We enjoyed fish tacos and crawdad po'boys at the famous Sea Salt Eatery near the falls. On our way back, the kids took a swim in Lake Nokomis and the new lakes that have formed beyond Lake Nokomis. Fun family day...
