The Lazy Days of Summer.....WE WISH!

Once we hit US soil we thought we were in for a relaxing summer....maybe one day! We started our time back getting the kids back on track. This was much easier than our late nights in Turkey. We decided it was better to get sleep and slowly get back to MN time. So after one night we went to bed at 4:00 when the kids went down for their nap (bedtime in Turkey). We all woke up at 1:30. After a couple hours we decided to hit Walmart and Cub to get some food and a tent for our camping adventure with Grandpa and Grandma Enerson! I do have to say I had to stop myself from saying..."Jet lag is rough isn't it honey...just so people wouldn't judge our parenting, or lack there of!!
Either way, we got a great tent.."The Vacation Lodge" As you can see it is just as bigh as mom and dad's camper. Who needs a cabin when you have the lodge!!

Drew had a great time fishing, even though it was cold and windy. He cast out his little yellow fish and loved reeling it back in. He is quite the fisherman!

Since it was chilly, our fire kept us warm.

Dad and I went out one morning and got into some good fishing catching one every few minutes! Here is my 23 inch walleye!

The boys loved runing around the campground. Matthew chased Drew everywhere!

After camping we had a few weeks of being home, haning with students, swiming with cousins, checking out the zoo, Jake heading to canada while I painted and worked on the house to surprise Jake. We also made it to Como Zoo for a fun family day.

I headed up to Bemidji with Kalie (my sister) and worked on our Mom and Dad's house, painting the kitchen, cleaning out some things and giving my mom a heart attack as we ran around throwing things. We were good, we only threw stuff she was ready to get rid of.

Our next big event was the ENERSON FISHING TOURNAMENT!

Jake and I were in running for 1st, but our four little fisheys didn't add up to the 12 my aunt and cousin caught! If only we could have kept the 33 inch Northern Jake snagged!!

As you can see by the next picts, the boys are not only HUGE and growing too fast, but they had a great time playing with their cousins and just having fun at Granpa and Grandma's house. Every few days Drew asks if he can go back...

Drew learned that climbing trees is way too much fun!

After the extened family left, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Kalie and Lex, Uncle Mike, Cousin Raesa and McKenna and us all went to the Deer Park together. As you can see the kids had a blast feeding the animals and chasing after the deer! Well Matthew would say otherwise...he was just trying to survive them loving on him!! (Check the video below!)
