Technology Problems...

Well, I was going to finish updating the blog...until one very active 4-year-old tripped over the cord of the external hard drive and sent it flying into a wooden rocking chair a couple of weeks back.  The hard drive was upstairs so we could upload the pictures from our phones, so I guess it was an accident waiting to happen.  Well, the hard drive would not work.  We brought it to a computer place and he could not retrieve any of our pictures.  So, now we need to mail it to a data retrieval place in California.  I'm sure it will have a pretty cost to it, so we are holding off for now.  I was also in the process of backing up the pictures from the external hard drive, since I had deleted them from our computer.  I had about half done.  I won't be able to upload photos to the blog unless I get it set up so that I can send them from my IPhone, which just might work....

At any rate, the blog is again at a standstill for now.  I am back in my classroom and the kiddos are back at daycare.  Summer went way too quick, and it seems to go faster and faster every year!  I do tend to update Facebook a little more often, since I have the Facebook app for my phone.  Anyway, that's our update for now!  Blessings to you!

Duluth, MN... Lift Bridge and Boardwalk... June 15, 2010

The lift bridge was going up, so Chris, Rylee, and Aiden jumped out of the car and went to see the ship going through!


 We ate at Grandma's (known for their Grandma's marathon... and their spaghetti!).  Then we went down to Canal Park and the boardwalk.  We brought two loaves of bread to feed the birds and all three kids LOVED feeding the sea gulls!




It was raining off and on, but we were able to walk around and get some pictures!
More pics of the lift bridge!
 We also visited the maritime museum. 

Duluth, MN... Swimming in the Pool... June 2010

The kids LOVED swimming, so we had to give them a lot of pool time!

Duluth, MN... Train Ride! June 2010

Heading to Duluth, MN!
Waiting at the Train Depot to get on our train!
 Aiden and cousin Rylee! 
Aiden giving his ticket to the conductor!  We started out riding in the "double-decker" train!
The caboose!
 The engine! Posing with the conductor!
Watching the engine move to the back of the train, so we can go back to the station!
Watching as the train couples up!

Aiden was so excited for the train ride!  Trains are his favorite thing and I think he smiled throughout the entire 1 1/2 hour ride!  ; )  Josiah just liked looking at everything and liked trying to walk around on the different cars!
